Production Coordinator

Who We Are

Ginger Fox Games Ltd. is a UK based publisher of social party and brand licensed games, brainteaser puzzles, puzzle games and jigsaws for adults, families and children. We endeavour to create products that first and foremost generate excitement and fun, but that are also inclusive and accessible to all.

We are quickly becoming one of the leading publishers of TV licensed games and puzzles working with some of the most exciting and creative rights owners in the licensing industry. Our current portfolio of brand licenses includes Harry Potter, Universal Pictures, The Traitors, Taskmaster, Race Across the World, Peaky Blinders, Richard Osman’s House of Games, The Chase, Catch Phrase, Aardman and Popmaster.

Our sense of adventure, curiosity and determination has taken our products from the heart of the Cotswolds throughout the UK into the USA, Australia and beyond!

Through our Sustainability Promise we want to ensure our products are not only fantastically enjoyable to play, but that they leave as little negative impact on people and the planet as possible.

We are based in Cheltenham, a beautiful regency spa town in the Cotswolds.
