From The Perch

Asher and Eva asked a better question.

“What if snowmen had emoji faces instead?”

Two Colorado kids, Asher and Eva, love building snowmen and giving them expressive faces. After too many afternoons hunting for the perfect eyebrow stick, they had the idea: a kit of 19 weather-resistant face pieces, so any snowman can be excited, silly, sleepy, or mischievous.

It is also their real-life education in entrepreneurship: learning how ideas become products, with a whole box of prototype eyes to prove it.

Because snowmen have feelings too!

GamePerch’s giving program

When play gives back.

Some games are played for the love of it, and some are meant to give back. This is where GamePerch spotlights the players and communities behind the games we love.

    Only products with a confirmed beneficiary carry the Play It Forward badge.

    Why “The Perch”

    Every game needs a gathering place.

    The name started with birds on a powerline: neighbors hanging out, swapping stories. GamePerch is that wire, a place where people gather like birds on a line and trade stories through games.

    Games are portals. Play broadens a worldview and keeps reminding us how much we share.
