About Us
LITTLE ACORN GAMES
Hi! I'm Jen; wife to Rob, mum to two young children aged 11 and 8, founder of Little Acorn Games and the creator of our 4 games: Funny Fairies, PJ Pirates, Football Final and Mermaid Party!
Throughout our family life, we have always loved the fun, laughter and joy that playing board games together brings. It is because of this that I dreamt up the idea for Funny Fairies in 2018 whilst playing board games with my then 5-year-old daughter, so set about making a paper version for her...
FUNNY FAIRIES
...after play-testing it with cousins, friends, friends-of-friends, I realised it was a game enjoyed by families of all shapes and sizes thanks to its 3 levels of play making it accessible to a wide age-range.
I therefore decided to try to get Funny Fairies out into the world for more families to enjoy and so Little Acorn Games was born in August 2019!
A CROWD-FUNDED BEGINNING
To raise the funds needed, we tried our hand at a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter and were unbelievably excited when it successfully funded in November 2019!!
The games arrived in the UK in April 2020, 18 months after the idea was born!
Funny Fairies is now available to buy over on Amazon UK!
PJ PIRATES
Following the success of Funny Fairies, we decided in January 2021 that it was time to take a deep breath once again and take the plunge with game number 2: PJ Pirates!
It was extremely exciting to see the ideas finally come to life, having had the idea soon after I thought up Funny Fairies.
PJ Pirates is now available to buy over on Amazon UK!
FOOTBALL FINAL
Did you know? Football Final was a work-in-progress for a good couple of years before it was launched in May 2024!
It wasn't until one random day in Summer 2023, when Rob and I just seemed to have all the ideas at once with lightbulb moments flying about left, right and centre, that it became the final game idea you see here!
Football Final is now available to buy over on Amazon UK!
MERMAID PARTY
Our fourth game Mermaid Party was inspired by my daughter's love of mermaids as she was growing up!
It is just as exciting seeing our newest game for the first time as it was seeing Funny Fairies for the first time...on that note I already have game number 5 in my head...watch this space!!!
