About Us
We are Anita & Bryan, a husband and wife duo from Seattle with a shared passion for tabletop games. Between us, we cover a broad spectrum of genre interests from heavy economic simulations to more role play focused narrative experiences. We started Good Time Hat in 2024 with a goal of making unique games that blend our mechanical and thematic tastes. Our 1st game “Overgrown” is launching in 2025.
Why Good Time Hat?
I (Bryan) grew up with the phrase “putting on your good time hat” as a shorthand for enjoying an activity, movie, game, etc for what it is rather than what you wanted it to be. I was well into my adult life before someone let me know that it is not the universally used phrase that I thought it was. Lo and behold, I was unable to find any clues online to its origins or even any geographic region associated with its use. However, I still agree with the sentiment and it drives how I interact with art.
Our Favs
While we often spend our game nights playing something new, there are several games we always come back to:
- Spirit Island
- Tales of the Arabian Nights
- Great Western Trail
- Red7
- Clank! (and its many variations)
- Codenames
- Scout
We have also ravenously consumed every Unlock! or other escape room-esque game we can get our hands on.
