Our Story
With endless things to do, having downtime might seem like a luxury. Games and puzzles not only replenish the brain but when we share them with people we love, we create joyful memories that will last a lifetime.
We exist to make downtime easy.

A curated collection to make it easy to find your perfect downtime partner.
Raw finishes like indents and frays to remind us of the materials we use.
Compact design that strips out bulk and reduces our carbon footprint.

Our Founder
Like many of us, our founder Ike was burning the candle at both ends working in finance. So she took a career break and spent some time in Japan studying design. There she was inspired by the Slow Japan movement and the philosophy of Ikigai.
But this isn’t a “I quit my job and now live on a beach” story. No, she returned to the city because a balanced life doesn’t mean quitting everything you know.
Instead, she created a collection of modern games and puzzles to help more of us find balance through play. Our debut games collection was shortlisted for Gift of the Year 2020 by the Gift Association.
We’re still on the journey. Come join us.

Our Vision
We’re building a world where play meets planet. Our reasons are simple:
If our planet is healthy and our people are happy, we’re one step closer to a calmer and more sustainable world.
Table worthy. Downtime is self-care so shouldn’t be hidden away. We made our products coffee table worthy because we want people to talk.
Compact design. Our packaging are designed without excess bulk and air to make it easy to ship and reduce our carbon footprint.
Plastic free. By using only natural materials and avoiding plastic altogether, we’re helping to secure a better future for the next generation.
Small batch. Over consumption is not sustainable. More production means more waste and more landfill. For us, less is better.
1% for the planet. Every business takes more from the planet than it gives back. We give 1% of our revenues to help tip the scales.
