In a playful interlude between projects, Helms Workshop crafted the packaging for Obituary, the Game—a quirky, silly, and immensely enjoyable creation from a casual idea shared over a beer. The game, a delightful fusion of Charades and Pictionary, has become addictive and creative, reflecting the studio’s mission to inspire creativity and rekindle the joy of childhood play. The packaging, adorned with gothic-inspired typography and whimsical skeleton illustrations, balances an ominous aesthetic and a playful atmosphere. Helms Workshop’s design captures the essence of Obituary, enticing players into a world where creativity reigns and the sense of play embraced in childhood is joyously reclaimed.

In between projects with our Helms Workshop brand partners, we made a thing. It’s quirky, silly, and a ton of fun. It’s been a wild ride taking an idea shared over a beer and turning it into a real game that people love to play. Obituary is like the love child of Charades and Pictionary— and it’s as addictive as it is creative. But we also have a super sneaky secret mission: to inspire creativity and help people reclaim the sense of play they embraced as kids.
