League of the Lexicon

Two Brothers Games makes games that are whip-smart, visually stunning, and completely original. Inspired by the founder’s two boys, Sonny and Jude, and powered by curiosity and wonder, its mission is to get people thinking, talking and laughing, no batteries required.

Joshua Blackburn is a writer and photographer. He’s also the inventor of the most successful word game in Kickstarter history, League of the Lexicon. His previous books include the award-winning Acme Climate Action and Launderama, a photography book that beautifully documents London’s last remaining launderettes. Joshua created League of the Lexicon for his two sons during Covid lockdown and was the game’s most prolific question writer. He has since become an accidental linguist, appearing on podcasts like The Allusionist, Because Language, The Failing Writers, and Butter No Parsnips. He lives in London with his family, a neurotic cat, and an overly large taxidermy collection.
