Our job as professional designers and humorists requires us to be terminally online, forever scrolling to stay informed about current events, design trends, and the cultural conversation at large.

While staying up to date with the zeitgeist has its benefits, we also are constantly complaining about how addicted we've become to our smart phones, even struggling to put them down when we aren't actively working and are supposed to be more present with the people we care about most.

If you've ever found yourself simultaneously watching a movie, scrolling your news feed, and having a conversation with a friend or family member — and doing a mediocre job of all three — you're in good company. We're right there with you!

So in an effort to reduce our own screen time we've worked hard these last few years to design and develop products that help us and others spend our free time — both alone and when spending time with friends & family — in a more healthy & rewarding way.

That's where these adult activity books come in. We wanted an assortment of fun diversions full of puzzles, games, and conversation starters that could be enjoyed solo or with friends, and, above all, they had to be entertaining enough to keep us away from our various screens. No pressure!

When you purchase Bloodthirsty & Bewitched, Whatever! and Adventures In The Abyss together, you're not just saving money (though there is that) — you're treating yourself and your friends & family to a fantastically fun little care package designed to help you — and your friends & family — kick the habit of mindlessly scrolling, streaming, and ignoring the people you care about most.

We hope that you find the activities in these books as funny and engaging as we did while we were creating them, and that they help you and the people you love rediscover the joy of being at least slightly less online. Have fun!
