The Family Matters Game, a Box of Rain Project, Hits Major Milestone

Box of Rain's client Family Matters—the game that helps families get to know each other better (and have fun doing it)—will soon be on shelves in over 200 Toys-R-Us stores nationwide! Besides Toys-R-Us, the game can be purchased from Amazon.com. Watch for the game at other retail outlets soon—our rep is now speaking to Barnes & Noble among others; his distributor wants the game for big dot-com customers (e.g., Wal-Mart) so things might get interesting in a mass kind of way.

The Family Matters game has drawn raves from parents and kids and has won 7 awards to date, including Dr. Toy's 2009 Best Pick and Vacation Winner and Creative Child Magazine's Toy of the Year 2009. Box of Rain advised and assisted the game's inventor with market and product research and testing, as well as making introductions to service providers including design, manufacturing, and website development services. We also provided encouragement and helped keep up the project's momentum throughout the development process.
