2020 – THE TOAD WAS SPAWNED

Terror toad was born as the result of the pandemic when we had more time to develop the game ideas we always talked about! Between the three founders – Chris, Katie, and Mark, we lost work, lost a business, and like so many others, we needed some escapism from Covid-19. We are big fans of games you can learn quickly, and we really believe that this is what we have created in this marvellous business!

 

2020 – CONCEPTUALISED OUR FIRST GAME, G.R.I.M INC.

Remember Zoom calls? We do all too well because that is how we came us with our first basic version of G.R.I.M. INC. There were many a-night spent drinking (tea or wine), writing down implements and laughing about the ridiculous ways we were killing people! It would be a while though before we could meet in person to impose it on our friends to try.

 

2021 – LAUNCHED TERROR TOAD AND RAN OUR KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN

Yes, we file tax returns for that grumpy wee toad! Thanks again to everyone who made our Kickstarter campaign successful, we would not be writing this without you! Also, a massive thanks to anyone who has ever bought a game, liked a post, or supported us in any way! It means the world to us and means we can continue to bring toadally awesome games for years to come!

 

2022/23 – STARTED SELLING OUR FISRT GAME!

In August 2022, G.R.I.M. INC. arrived! In 45 boxes shipped to Katie’s mum’s house (Thanks Audrey!), and we ventured to our first convention – Tabletop Gaming Live in Manchester! We spent the following year figuring out the convention scene, eventually venturing to the mighty UK Games Expo in 2023!

 

2024 – TIME TO RUFFLE SOME FEATHERS!

After quietly testing and trying out new concepts in 2023, in January 2024, we sent off the files to our printer for a sample of a brand new game, Imposter Pigeon! A freshly nerve-wracking and exciting time, the difficult second album was launched in May, making it’s debut at UKGE 2024. With dark party improv, and now a cheeky wee social deduction under our belts, we’re ready to add more strings to our bow – and grow this toad.

 

2025 – LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

We have a few things up our sleeves for the coming year, look out for spooky RPG vibes and cute but brain-bending wee frogs. Stay tuned…
