If you find one, hold on to it, and never let it go.”
We’re Burning Fish Games, a small studio from Australia making party games that are fun, a bit different... and made to be shared. You might know us from Who Murdered the Turtle?, Penguins Can’t Fly or our latest project Bite Me. If you’ve supported us or played one of our games, then you’re the reason we exist.
Thanks for helping us keep the ideas flowing and the games coming. Our mission is to bring people back to the table, away from screens, scrolling, and notifications, and into a world where imagination ignites on the table, laughter is shared, and every game night becomes a story worth retelling.
