Get to know us

Hi, we’re Dustin and Julia, husband and wife duo in Brooklyn, New York! While we were hiking in Glacier National Park, I was captivated by a towering mountain in the background framed by wildlife near the trail: BearHat Mountain! Adding to the fact that we just love nature (and bears), we merged it with our other love: boardgames. Having a company that represents that curiosity and magic of natural world (and bears) is the dream!

BearHat Games is devoted to creating family-friendly experiences that are easy to learn, promoting social and positive player interaction. With a focus on games that celebrate the natural world, our mission is to unite players of all ages, igniting curiosity and admiration for the environment around us, while fostering laughter, shared memories, and enduring bonds through the magic of tabletop gaming.
