  • In case you missed it - About Time on Dragon's Den

    It's on You Tube and brought here to you - myself and Iain getting a going over on the BBC's Dragon's Den. At that time we had not sold any. This is just a snap shot of our thorough grilling by the definitely interested Dragons. Still, Iain's projections were right - and here we are two years later breaking into 3 big markets and ...

  • Abouttimeboardgame.com goes live

    We made it - the new About Time website and e-shop are now live and we hope people like it. Of course we are also working on a viral campaign to create awareness and interest in the game and pull people to the site. The work on that is underway now and should show fruit in a month or so. The death of Patrick Swayze has brought back memories of ...

  • Optimism about the US game market in 2009 based on 23% bounce last year

    For every global recession there is a silver lining. Last year's sales of board games in the US were up by 23% to $808 million according to a Forbes report in July. This is likely because board games are recession proof to the extent that they are a cheaper alternative to other kinds of entertainment, such as the cinema or computer ...

  • The ultimate wedding gift for a man who has almost everything

    I got married, I bought a house, I moved into said house and started decorating it, well more accurately my wife (that sounds strange and probably will for some time) and James and Andy  the decorators did that mostly. I - sorry, we - were given some wonderful wedding gifts, one of them was a cappucino maker, which was all I wanted really. ...

  • re: Everything you need to know about viral games vs viral films

    This is all really relevant to us as we are about to launch a viral game version of the About Time board game to drive traffic and sales through our yet to be launched eshop. We are doing it on a minimal budget and aiming for a multiplayer version rather than just the quizzes we have on our existing site. We are short of time and wondering about ...

  • re: Maybe the most powerful brand is fear

    Thank you Dolli John for your not so subtle plug! You are right though - a lot of people are scared of the cures being proposed by the authorities and Big Pharma.

  • Maybe the most powerful brand is fear

    How to get the consumer's attention? The answer is fear. Yes, if our product could be a cure to swine flu, or an essential tool in the battle against international terrorism, we would be the biggest brand on the shelf right now. If we manufactured Tamiflu, or drone missiles, we would be the essential antidote to the fears of our age. Never ...
