Jamie & Michael — Founders

Jamie Strategist & Product Leader
Michael Cybersecurity & Systems

We're a married duo who spend our days building serious systems — and our nights building chaos.

Jamie is a product strategist and leader who has shipped software used by tens of thousands of users and thousands of enterprise customers. Michael works in cybersecurity, where structure, risk, and precision aren't suggestions — they're the job.

Outside of work, we're the kind of people who ski, camp, SUP, and hike because we live in the PNW and that's just Tuesday. Music is always on in our house — always. And most nights you'll find us mid-game: board game, card game, it doesn't matter. We've been known to deal cards in airport terminals waiting to board. Games aren't a hobby for us. They're how we live.

So naturally, we built a fame-fueled party card game.

What we believe

Most party games quietly reward
the people who know each other best.

The inside jokes win.
Whoever knows the judge best wins.
Popularity beats the best answer.
We wanted something different.
Chicken Fat is chaos-driven, but it's fair.
Band, Album, or Song? Majority rules.

How it started

From a kitchen joke
to a full product obsession.

What started as a private inside joke turned into a full product obsession. We prototyped. We tested. We argued. We rebuilt.

We applied everything we know about product design, systems thinking, and user experience to something that looks simple on the surface — and plays fast, clean, and repeatable underneath.

We're building more than a game. We're building a brand around the kind of laughter that turns strangers into friends and game nights into stories.
