A little idea on our 17th anniversary

We’re Eddie and Anne. We’re husband and wife and the pair behind Poppy Books & Games.

On our 17th wedding anniversary, we were sitting in the parking lot of a comic store when Eddie asked Anne what she thought would make the cutest, most fun game possible.

Her answer started with a chipmunk and an otter. The chipmunk would collect nuts, of course, and the otter would collect fish.

That little conversation was all it took. Eddie got to work designing the game mechanics, artwork, and little details that would bring those characters to life. Together, we played, tested, and kept adjusting things until that idea from the parking lot became Acorn Flurry.

Meet Acorn Flurry

Acorn Flurry is a cheerful woodland game about collecting goodies, earning points, and spending a little time with some very cute animals. Help the chipmunk gather nuts and the otter collect fish, then explore the wonders of the woodland through Owl’s Nature Guide.

It brings together playful challenges, nature discoveries, and the simple satisfaction of trying again to do a little better.

Why we made it

Poppy Books & Games is our place to bring stories and playful ideas to life. We want to make things that spark curiosity, feel welcoming, and give someone a reason to smile.

Our hope is that Acorn Flurry helps everyone learn about the wonderful life all around us. Beyond collecting nuts and fish, we invite you to slow down, reflect, and take time to study the animals: their habits, their homes, and the little things that make each one special.

We hope that curiosity follows you beyond the game, too. There’s so much to discover when we take a moment to notice.

With love, Eddie & Anne
