At Wonder Forge, we believe in the power of play. For over 20 years, we’ve been creating engaging and innovative games that bring families and friends together to learn, grow, and make lasting memories.
Our story begins in 1998, when we launched our first product – a simple matching card game called The Great Dalmuti. We wanted to design a game that was easy to learn but offered enough strategy to keep players engaged. The success of that first game showed us there was demand for high-quality games that stimulated the mind while bringing people together.
Since then, we’ve expanded into puzzles, board games, and activity kits while staying true to our mission of making playtime meaningful. Headquartered in Seattle, our team of game designers, artists, and child development experts continually push the boundaries of creativity to produce games that educate and entertain.
Our Approach to Play
Play time shouldn’t just be fun – it should have a purpose. Our products enrich the mind through:
- Cognitive development: Games that engage logic, memory, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
- Educational value: Games that teach STEM, spelling, vocabulary, social studies, and more.
- Cooperative play: Games that promote teamwork, sharing, and social skills.
- Skill-building: Games that build concentration, strategy, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills.
- Open-ended play: Puzzles, drawing pads, and activity kits with unlimited possibilities.
- Family involvement: Games the whole family can play together.
We consult child psychologists, academic advisors, and parents to create age-appropriate games for every developmental stage from toddlers to teens. Our thorough playtesting process ensures that gameplay flows smoothly and instructions are clear.
At Wonder Forge, it’s not just about winning or losing the game. It’s about the invaluable lessons learned along the way.
