The Kess® Story
From a lonely child's game to a worldwide phenomenon.
Born in Wisconsin
Kess is a newly invented and patented game, created in beautiful Wisconsin. But the story goes much much further back...
How it Started
It started years ago with a little boy who had no friends. He started playing with colored pebbles in his garden.
Pebbles are Beautiful
The pebbles eventually became a game he played with squares he drew on the porch with chalk.
Time Changes Everything
Then elementary school finished.. and you did not want to be seen playing with pebbles anymore.
But Memories Never Die
One day the grownup remembered the pebbles again and the joy they brought him.
The Second Coming
He tried all kinds of things, bottle caps, corks, gummy bears.. Finally the stars and crosses were born.
Kess Meets World!
Now our inventor had no skills at naming things. He called his dog ‘dog’ for lack of a better name. So, he named the game KESS, a mispronunciation of ‘Chess’. Luckily for him the good folks at the trademark office looked at it up and down and said ‘Ok’. And luckily for him, everyone seemed to like this silly little game. It is simple, and it is a lot of fun.
