Wonder Forge(TM), one of Washington State's fastest growing private companies(1) and a stand-out in the U.S. toy and game market, has recently raised $1.75 million to finance a projected 86% domestic growth and 49% international growth in 2012. The funds will also be used to launch into new categories beyond the game aisle in 2013.

Funds were secured through private investors and include both a debt and an equity round.

"The reception to our games and puzzles has been phenomenal," said Jacobe Chrisman, founder and CEO. "The funding we've secured will help us bring our unique, quality kids' entertainment experiences to even more households across the country and world, while it also allows us to grow into some new and exciting categories beginning in 2013."

Wonder Forge was founded by CEO Jacobe Chrisman, former head of product development at Cranium games. The company launched in 2007 and today includes a product line of more than 60 games and puzzles, featuring cherished children's properties such as Disney Princess, Minnie Mouse, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, Dr. Seuss, DC Super Friends, Richard Scarry's Busytown, Angelina Ballerina, Curious George, Chuggington, and MythBusters.
