About Hawberry Games

Indie board game company that makes unique, easy-to-learn games

Started in 2021 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hawberry Games has since released two games.

Our focus is on easy-to-learn games with a unique twist. Cake Auf! is a dessert-making card game that brings out the inner competitor in even the most unwilling cooks.

Emotional Intelligence is a unique party game – everyone becomes a detective out to decipher other players’ personality types.

Our Team

Julie Chen, Founder & Creator of Games

I’m a former graphic designer and I always wanted a way to express myself using my art. Seeing that I’m also a huge board game aficionado, it seemed inevitable that I’d one day design my own games.

Zappy, Mascot, Hawberry Games

Yooo it’s me, Zappy! I’m Hawberry Games’ mascot and I was created for the party game Emotional Intelligence. I represent all of the emotions you may have while playing our games. I’m cute and I have many faces. See me on the game boxes and at conventions!

Marbles, Brand Dog, Hawberry Games

Before Zappy, it was me, Marbles. I accompanied Julie when she was designing her very first game, Cake Auf. Here you can see me inspecting the first two prototypes back in the early months of 2021. Zappy is cute, but I’m the real MVP.
