so what is all this then?

Bendie Games are printable entertainment ideas – ideal for the typical kiwi house party or gathering.

These aren’t children treasure hunt ideas or 5-min “would you rather” print outs.

These games start with a desire to have an amusing experience with your friends, like:

“How could I feel like a cop,
and bust a bad guy operation?”

“Wouldn’t it be fun to feel like a pirate,
drinking grog on a ship with a crew?”

“Could I be a real-life “Imposter”
and silently kill all my friends?”

After careful design to create the right vibes with everyday items, then endless simplifying, publishing, rewriting, testing and refining – a Bendie Game is ready to share with you!

Unlike board games or 5-minute couch games, these games are designed to fill your space with interactive entertainment. Unleash you from the table and allow you to realize your full potential as a drama inducing friend.

These games are D I Y ! I give you the details and any special bits, You print it and use your pots & pans and everyday items to make the game come to life.
