Employee-Owned, Tech-enabled Movie Quote Trivia Card Game Launches on Kickstarter

Miami Beach, FL - Designed.co a leading creative and design agency announces today that it will launch an employee-designed and owned card game called Quotable on August 12th, 2021. 

Quotable is a charades-style, movie-quote trivia card game. The game was designed for everyone from Netflix newbies to cinephiles and incorporates scannable QR codes to watch your favorite movie quote scenes on YouTube, with no app required. The “OG version” includes over 100+ quotes from movies from the early 90s through the early 2000s and a couple of straggler quotes from newer movies. 

Gameplay is simple, you draw a card, act out the movie quote/scene in your best impression and players guess movie facts to earn points. You can scan the back of each card anytime during the gameplay to learn how to act out the quote or just to have a laugh after a botched impersonation effort. 

A lesson in entrepreneurship 

A byproduct of COVID lockdown, the game was born after the company held movie quote trivia competitions around the holiday season on the company Slack channel (chat program). The goal was to award employees for responsiveness, keep spirits lifted during quarantine and put some added money in the pockets of employees after significant COVID losses. 

Jeremy Lessaris, founder and CEO of Designed.co said “We loved playing movie trivia, it brought the team closer together while everyone was locked down and put a little extra money in our team's pocket. When I floated the idea of turning this into a card game, it seemed like a natural fit. Extraordinary design and management talent, utilizing our own services to create something simple and fun. We could all laugh and take a breather from the stresses of the last year and if my crazy idea worked it could give back in a big way.”

“Quotable could be much more than just a card game. It could help enhance our employee's skills beyond just design, give them a bigger sense of ownership and give back to the team after the past year of COVID losses,” noted Lessaris. ​ 

“It’s also a great way for our design team to see our business from our customer's perspective, our design team is a customer of their own product, utilizing our own processes and systems to create and deliver design assets for everything from branding to the game design to ads as well as the entire Kickstarter campaign and website.” ​ Lessaris continued.

Kickstarter campaign

The goal is very small as the company tries to raise $5,000 to put in its first production order but Designed.co fully intends to make the game with or without the Kickstarter funding. Minimizing the typical risk of Kickstarter campaigns. The funding will help pay for the tooling needed for some of the advanced printing features and increase the volume of orders to reduce pricing and allow for profitability. 

The Kickstarter campaign has a unique twist offering rewards that include early access to the first production run of the game, autographed movie merchandise, celebrity cameos, and a meet and greet reward that includes an all-expense-paid trip to sunny Miami on a private yacht trip with the company in December.
