Let’s play a game!

Those words have always brought me joy, as they do for many others. Whether it was watching our great-grandparents play penny poker at the kitchen table or learning chess from my dad, games have been a constant in my life. My brothers and I created countless memories playing with friends in the neighborhood.

Games bring people together, stimulate creativity, and offer boundless fun. From the excitement of discovering a new game to the anticipation of laughter-filled game nights with family and friends, they enrich our lives in countless ways.

The name “BuddyPal” came from our dad, who often called us “buddy.” My brothers and I even created a goofy “BuddyPal” song we used to sing for fun. So, when it came to naming the company, it just felt right.

Today, there are so many amazing games out there, both old and new. We encourage you to keep exploring, try new ones, and introduce your friends to the joy of gaming. If one of those games happens to be from BuddyPal, we’re grateful you chose to share the experience with us.
