About Us
The Lost Lands of Verne was created by two lifelong friends with a simple goal: to create an adventure game that’s accessible to everyone, offering both casual fun and deep strategic play. Our mission was to build a game that players of all levels could enjoy— whether for a quick, easy session or an immersive, complex experience.
We began working on Verne in 2020. Since then, we've perfected Verne’s gameplay, expanded our passionate team, and fostered a vibrant community through game nights and events. The Lost Lands of Verne officially launched in March 2024, and has since sold hundreds of copies around the world. Verne is also available in local game stores in the New York City area.
