Simplest. Offer. Ever. – Dec. 5th, 2018

Hundreds of people are working together to solve the mysteries of the “Clandestine” Edition in a world-wide, month-long, puzzle hunt. You should really join them, it’s a ton of fun. There are plenty of daily-ish puzzles yet to be cracked and plenty of time to jump in. – Dec. 3rd, 2018

Quartet

When I try to decide what is my favorite year of products, 2018 will most assuredly be in the conversation. But for me, this year goes right to the top in a different category. I’d say that the set of films we’ve made for our 2018 Edition launches is our widest-ranging, most ambitious yearly quartet yet. And it’s no coincidence, they were also the most fun to make. – Nov. 18th, 2018

HQ Events

Our studio on North Racine Avenue in Chicago was selected as one of the “Coolest Offices” in the city. Thanks to Crain’s for that. – Oct. 22nd, 2018

Lost and Found in Translation
