Celebrating SimplyFun's Growth and Giving

At SimplyFun we're not just championing play-based learning, we're on a mission to make learning through gameplay accessible for kids and families everywhere. We're proud to contribute to what's truly important in life: the potential of children and the success of schools. 

SimplyFun 2024 game launches

2024 was an incredible year in a variety of areas. We're grateful to celebrate many milestones, including:

  • Six new game launches including Prickly Path, SlideAscope, Fossil Sweep, Plundering Times, My Fun Shapes, and My Fun Set. These new games not only livened up classrooms and game night gatherings, but they were also recognized by industry experts in the parenting and educational space with a whopping 22 awards. Now that's rewarding! 
  • Nearly 3x growth in sales! Can you just picture how many new grins, giggles, and high-fives this brought into the lives of little ones? It's a delightful scene to imagine.
  • Surpassing 300 total awards received for our games! From Parents to PAL and everything in between, 2024 brought home 31 new awards, bringing our total award wins to more than 300.    

As we continue to grow, our mission goes beyond creating memorable gameplay moments around the table. A spike in sales activity is wonderful but what we are most proud of is our continued dedication to giving back. Donating our games not only helps spread joy to communities far and wide but also shows children that learning can be endless enjoyment and discovery. It also aids in leveling the playing field and creates a world where learning is a spirited, connected experience for all.

"We are so grateful for all the families that gave us another big step up in growth in 2024 by bringing SimplyFun games into their homes," said Patty Pearcy, President and CEO of SimplyFun. "We're even more grateful that we in turn can step up for our partners like My Stuff Bags when they need our help bringing assistance to families impacted by the recent California wildfires." 

In 2024, we continued our annual partnership with Toys for Tots and My Stuff Bags and donated nearly 11,000 SimplyFun games with a combined retail value of over $343,000. In addition, and most recently due to the devastating wildfires in California, we sent an additional 750 games to My Stuff Bags who partnered with the L.A. County school system to support children and families affected by the fires.

As we reflect on this successful and rewarding year, we’re filled with gratitude—not just for the growth we’ve achieved as a company, but for the opportunity to give back and bring the joy of play to those who deserve it most. While we’re excited about what the future holds, our greatest pride will always come from the smiles we help create and the communities we uplift.

Thank you for being a part of the SimplyFun story. Together, we’re bringing the joy of play-based learning alive and empowering future generations to thrive!
