Overview

Kheper Games was initially established as Kheper Publishing by Brian Lee Pellham in December 1995, where he self-published his first book, A Partier’s Guide to 51 Drinking Games.[3] Later, in 2000, the company was renamed Kheper Games because of the expansion of its portfolio from only publishing game books to offering a wide variety of adult games.[4]

Headquartered in Seattle, WA,[5][6] Kheper sells over three million games and fun items each year. In 2020, Kheper celebrated its 25th anniversary[7] and sold over 25,000,000 games. The company’s best-selling game is the Sex! Card Game that has sold over three million copies.

Kheper aims to produce games that create excitement among its customers. Its games are available in up to 12 languages, with the most prevalent being in English, German, Spanish, and French, accessible in over 100 countries with the strongest distribution channels outside of the U.S. in Europe, Australia, India, Canada, Mexico, and Latin America. These games are conveniently found at Spencer Gifts, Urban Outfitters, Francesca Collections, Go! Games Stores, Party City, Rainbow Apparel, and adult boutique stores internationally. The products have a substantial presence at adult and romance marketplaces, major gift shows, party shows, and adult expos.[8]

Kheper believes in gender equality and extends support towards the LGBTQ+ community, offering an LGBTQ+ friendly version of games with the Progress flag packaging that can be played by any couple, throuple, and quads. The items include All Dicks Penis Candy, All Dicks Straws, Sex! Game, Gay Sex! and Lesbian Sex![10] Kheper has also launched two new games as part of its Progress line named Any Couple Sex! Dice and Sex!!!. Any Couple Sex! Dice is the first dice game to show non-gender specific sex positions, and it is a two-dice game with 1-inch dice. One shows sex positions, and the other specifies how long to do the position until you roll again. The positions are all gender-neutral, and toys can be incorporated if desired. Sex!!! is a board game that utilizes a colorful spinner to determine how markers move around the game board. Three and four markers can be used when playing within a throuple or quad. The winner is the first player to hit the Sex! space at the end of the game board. That player spins the spinner for a sex position as each space on the spinner includes a color and a gender-neutral sex position. Extra spins are taken for each additional player in the game. It’s all about fast-paced foreplay that quickly moves to sex.[11]

The extensive line of romance games, designed by Kheper, provides assistance to couples in resolving relationship issues in an exciting and fun manner and keeps them entertained. These games include 100 Date Nights, Hedonism, Mind, Body & Soul, Sex!, Lust!, Let’s Fool Around, Let’s F*ck!, Fantasy Affairs, Intimacy, Oral Sex, Intimate Encounters, Creative Kisses, and Seductions Kits.[12]

Kheper’s signature and best-selling product is Sex! card game, which illustrates foreplay techniques and sexual positions for couples to try and act out 100,000 fantasies. SEX! card games are easily available in national retail shops like Spencer Gifts, Adameve.com, Hustler, Lion's Den, and Lover's Stores.[13] Endless Nights of Amazing Sex! is the board game version of Sex! Card Game, which includes gameplay where a couple enjoys foreplay while asking each other sex-related trivia questions. Correct answers earn them sex position cards that they use to build an ultimate fantasy that is laid out in the center of the game board. Once the couple has put together a sex fantasy of 6 Sex! positions, they win and act out the sex positions.[14]

Kheper Games has published a wide variety of card and dice party games that provide an essence of fun and excitement at parties. The best-selling adult party game is Extreme Personal Questions, and it has an extension with a series of games, which includes More Extreme Personal Questions, Extreme Personal Questions for Lovers, and the newly launched EPQ for Stoners.
