Outset Media is a Canadian company founded in 1996 in Victoria, British Columbia, known for creating and distributing games, puzzles and toys.

Cheatwell Games is a long-established British publisher founded in 1986, which began as a board game manufacturer, distinguishing itself through its brilliant ideas and bold style. Over the decades, it has developed a unique identity within the sector, creating eccentric games, brain teasers and gift items, characterised by great charm and a global reach.

In 2024, Outset Media acquired Cheatwell Games, combining Outset’s distribution strength across North America with Cheatwell’s rich tradition of British design and innovation.

The two companies are now expanding their global presence, offering an even more diverse range of engaging, high-quality products: from board games and brain teasers to jigsaw puzzles, quizzes and family favourites.
