Hi, I'm Pierre Joubert. Graphic designer, dad of two boys, and now, aspiring game designer.

Together with my wife Leoni, I started a creative company called CUSTM. The idea was to build a platform where we could develop new ideas, products and businesses. StrikePoint Arena wasn't exactly part of the plan.

It all started one evening at our kitchen counter when my youngest son flicked a milk bottle lid at me. For some reason, it immediately took me back to a game I played growing up in South Africa called Finger Board.

I started wondering why games like this weren't more popular. Why didn't we see them everywhere? A few conversations later, I discovered that some of my South African friends remembered the same game, but here in New Zealand, where we now live, most people had absolutely no idea what I was talking about.

And that's when I went down the rabbit hole.

I loved the idea of bringing back that excitement I remembered as a kid. But I didn't want to simply recreate an old game. I wanted to reinvent the experience.

Traditional wooden dexterity games are brilliant, but many are big, heavy, expensive and not exactly something you casually throw in the car for a weekend away. I felt there was an opportunity to take everything that made those games so satisfying and build something completely different around it.

I had a few challenges I wanted to solve.

It had to be fast, exciting and ridiculously satisfying to play. Something with the instant gratification of a TikTok video and the fist-pumping satisfaction of sinking an impossible long shot in pool.

It had to bring kids and adults together. Easy enough for a child to pick up in minutes, but with enough skill and strategy to keep the grown-ups coming back for revenge.

It had to be portable, lightweight and affordable. A proper tabletop battle that doesn't require a dedicated games room, a small mortgage or a forklift to move around.

And finally, it needed a little magic. Something unexpected that could turn a simple flick into a spectacular moment.

That last one turned out to be quite the challenge.

What followed was nearly a year of experimenting, testing, failing, redesigning and testing again. Different puck sizes, materials, surfaces, shapes, bounce angles and no fewer than 97 different magnets. Yes, I actually counted. And yes, my family has had to put up with a LOT of puck flicking.

Some ideas worked beautifully. Others were complete disasters. There were moments when I wondered whether I was trying to solve the impossible. But every little breakthrough brought the game closer to what I had imagined.

Slowly, StrikePoint Arena started taking shape.

The roll-up arena, the magnetic interactions, the bouncing walls, the teams, the Strike Zones and the Boss battles. None of these happened overnight. Each was developed to add something new to the experience, without losing the simple joy of flicking a puck across a table.

And that's what I'm most proud of. StrikePoint isn't just a new version of an old game. It's the result of questioning how these games could work, challenging what they could be, and finding new ways to make them more accessible, more exciting and a whole lot more fun.

We're now at the point where we need your help to bring it to life.

This has been a much bigger journey than I ever expected when that milk bottle lid came flying across the kitchen counter. But seeing people play StrikePoint, hearing the laughter, watching the celebrations (and the occasional spectacular defeat), has made every frustrating moment worth it.

I genuinely believe we're building something special here. Something that can bring families and friends together, create a little healthy rivalry and hopefully still be played long after my own flicking days are over.

And the best part? We're only getting started.

THE RIGHT PARTNERS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Bringing StrikePoint Arena to life has been a huge learning experience, and we know that creating a great game is only part of the journey.

That's why we've teamed up with experienced partners who bring their own expertise to the project, from game development and manufacturing to running a Kickstarter campaign and getting rewards into backers' hands.

LaunchBoom has been invaluable in helping us navigate the world of crowdfunding. Without their guidance, we'd have been pretty lost figuring out how to launch a Kickstarter campaign!

Hero Time has been fantastic to work with throughout the development process. Their proactive approach, game manufacturing expertise and willingness to help solve challenges have made a real difference in bringing StrikePoint Arena closer to production.

Hive will be supporting us with pledge management and fulfilment planning, helping us create a smooth experience for backers after the campaign.
