Custom family games · Digital editions available now

Bring the unexpected. Become the story.

Your family's inside jokes, your people, your glorious chaos — turned into a game worth keeping forever.

The idea behind the mischief

Your family's inside jokes deserve to be a game.

We live in a moment where it's finally possible to make games that hold a specific family's inside jokes, history, language, and humor. But most people don't have the time, design skills, or creative energy to pull that off themselves.

Kin & Mischief does that work for them — so reunions, trips, and gatherings have built-in moments of laughter and connection instead of awkward downtime everyone hoped someone else would fix.

We turn families' inside jokes into objects worth keeping.

The person behind the plan

I'm Dot.

And I've been plotting this for you.

I'm the aunt who shows up to the family gathering with something no one expected — because I've been thinking about it since the last one. I love my people fiercely, and I like to show it sideways: through a game that gently roasts the cousin who thinks he's the funniest, through a trophy for the grandparent who's been running this whole show all along.

Kin & Mischief exists because families deserve better than a Hallmark moment. They deserve the story they'll still be laughing about at the next reunion. I built this to give them that — one inside joke at a time.

The process

How the magic gets made

Tell me everything.

Fill out the questionnaire. The quirks, the running jokes, the uncle who starts every story with "back in '83..." The more you give, the more specific — and more brilliant — it gets.

We get to work.

Within 5 business days, you get one proof. One look at what we built for your family. One round of up to 3 specific changes. The constraint is the feature, not the limitation.

Walk in with a secret.

Your game arrives — digital download for instant play or, coming soon, a physical edition with a proper tuck box and a wax seal. You walk into the room knowing exactly what's about to happen.

Not sure yet? There's also a "Surprise Me" tier — lower price, no approval step, pure Dot magic. We ship; you gasp.
