First off, what is this board game? Wordinarium is a word dice game that mixes the best of scrabble and cross-words to redefine a relaxing long-play game for 2 to 4 players! Of all the word games out there, Wordinarium is most appropriate for you and your grandparents to enjoy an afternoon by the bay, for your Wordle friends to get out of the group chat, or for an evening date by the fire with a glass of wine.

It’s casual, intellectual, and nostalgic.


Wordinarium is not yet on the market as it is currently in the process of finalizing the rules and game flow.

Meet the Designer

Anna Olinger is a product designer who also has a love for thrifting. December of 2024 at an antique mall in Colorado, she discovered a word dice game from 1959 called Scribbage. As a lover of vintage games, she quickly became fascinated. Within a month, Anna had played so frequently that she created a completely new set of rules with additional pons to define a more casual two to four player game.


Another year of play testing, prototyping, and refinement, she created Wordianrium. Anna kept focus on nostalgic touch points to invite the tone that this new game was actually dusted it off your grandma’s shelf. She iterated many different game boards so players feel inspired to take the game anywhere they want to waste an afternoon with loved ones.
