Our History |
House of Words originated as a board game concept by Joel Cohen. Joel, founder of game publisher In, Out, and Shuffle About, had the idea to create a new word game for families, but one that had the additional strategy of racing to collect letters ahead of your opponents. After years of prototyping, including designing a unique 3-D game board with movable walls, the basic idea of House of Words was born. Joel, a proud Drexel University alumnus, reached out to one of the founders of Drexel's top-10 nationally ranked Game Development program, Dr. Paul Diefenbach. Paul helped match Joel up with former students in local game development companies and managed production.
