The player who scores the most points is the winner of the round! The game has cards with goals that can be used to add new rules and increase the complexity of the game, as the child grows up. Quero-quero won the Ludopedia award for best children’s game designed in Brazil in 2019.

Quem somos

About Us

How the company was founded

Curió Jogos was born out of the dissatisfaction of two mothers who were struggling to find fun games with quality.

We thought it was impossible that, in the Brazilian market, there weren’t children’s games both interesting and sturdy enough to survive a spirited child. Overall, we create games to provide children and adults with moments of bonding and joy. We dream of creating games that are so fun and durable that they may be passed on to the next generations.

The partners

Graziela Grise

Graziela has always been fond of games, puzzles and logical challenges, but it was during the time she was living in Germany, while doing a PhD in Physics, that modern board games became an important part of her life. She founded Curió Jogos in 2016 and created the game Macacos Me Mordam! in 2018, both in partnership with her friend Isabel Butcher. She shares her love of board games with her husband and two sons, Gabriel and Noah, never putting aside her other great passion: the practice of Yoga.

Isabel Butcher

Journalist, mother of twin girls Alice and Zoé, habitual game player since the age of 7, when she learned how to play Canasta with her family, Isabel, or simply Bel, is a game lover, especially board games. She lived in France from 2007 to 2010, and, during this time, she got two Master’s degrees: the first one on video games and digital art, and the second one on board games. In 2016, she founded Curió Jogos with her friend Graziela Grise. Isabel is the co-creator of Macacos Me Mordam! (2018) and Quero-Quero (2019), the two games of the publishing house.

Mission and values

We want to make quality games that spark the interest of children and adults, that may bring the family together around a table, and provide moments of fun.
