Summary
Barrels of Fun reveals Jim Henson's Labyrinth at Expo, its first game, after two and a half years of secret development.
Barrels of Fun publicly revealed its first game, Jim Henson's Labyrinth, at Expo in Schaumburg, Illinois, with CEO David Van Es and lead rules designer Phil Grimaldi discussing the company's origins, team, and design approach. The hosts and guests describe a Houston-based team built largely from David's network, with a planned multi-year slate and licenses reportedly already locked for games two and three. The episode is largely promotional and self-described by participants, so claims about sales, plans, and reception should be treated as company framing.
