We’re Glad You’re Here
Thanks for stopping by. Whether you're here to gift, play, or plan your next event — welcome to the Backyard Games family.
The Heart of Backyard Games
At Backyard Games, we believe in the simple magic of play.
The kind that happens in backyards, on beaches, and around the barbecue. The kind that brings generations together, sparks friendly rivalries, and turns a moment into a memory.
What started as a passion project has grown into a proudly New Zealand brand creating premium, lasting games for real-life connection. Today, our range is loved by families, gifted with meaning, and customised for weddings, teams, and events across Aotearoa.
Why We Do What We Do
Play Brings People Together
We’ve seen it over and over again: a simple game sparks laughter, gets people off their phones, and helps everyone — from kids to grandparents — feel part of the fun.
Whether it’s for a wedding, a work event, or a lazy Sunday, our mission is to make connection a little more playful.
Built for NZ Backyards
Made to Be Played, Again and Again
We don’t make display pieces. We make games that get used, shared, and loved — built from durable materials to last for years of birthdays, BBQs, and backyard fun.
More Than Just Products
Custom Gifting, Local Partnerships, and Giving Back
We’re proud to work with local suppliers and craftspeople to bring your ideas to life — whether you're gifting a branded cornhole set, customising a wedding game, or creating a team-building moment that lasts.
We also believe in giving back. From community events to school fundraisers, we’re always looking for ways to support play where it matters most.
