About
Extremely Bad
Hires™

I wanted Extremely Bad Hires to be more than a card game built around a funny premise.

At its core, I wanted it to be something people could put on a table with friends or family, laugh over, compete over, tell stories about afterward, and remember because something completely ridiculous happened during the game.

But I also wanted the game to open a door into mythology, folklore, legends, cryptids, paranormal accounts, and the unexplained.

Some of the characters in Extremely Bad Hires come from stories people have told for generations. Some come from reported encounters, regional legends, old traditions, strange historical accounts, and modern paranormal culture. Others are original creations made specifically for the EBH universe.

If someone finishes a game laughing because of what happened at the table, then the game has done its job.

If that same person later looks up a legend they had never heard before, reads about a strange historical account, visits a reportedly haunted location, starts asking questions, or becomes curious about what might actually be out there, then the game has done something even better.

My mission with Extremely Bad Hires has always been bigger than simply making a card game.

I want it to be something that brings friends and families together around a table to laugh, compete, tell stories, and create the kind of memories people still talk about years later. At the same time, I want the game to open a door into the incredible world of mythology, folklore, legends, and the paranormal — introducing players to stories, creatures, and mysteries they may have never encountered before and hopefully inspiring them to learn more about where those stories came from.

If someone finishes a game laughing because of something ridiculous that happened at the table, then the game has done its job. But if that same person later finds themselves reading about an old legend, researching a strange historical account, visiting a supposedly haunted location, or simply asking, “What if there really is something more to this story?” then it has accomplished something even greater.

Maybe somewhere along the way, a few players will become the next generation of paranormal researchers, investigators, historians, storytellers, or hunters of the unexplained — people willing to keep asking questions, follow the evidence, preserve the stories, and continue the search that has fascinated humanity for generations.

Because beneath all the monsters, workplace disasters, bad decisions, and laughter, there is still one question that keeps pulling us back into the unknown.

What is really out there?

And maybe, together, the next generation will get a little closer to what we are all searching for:

The Truth.
