Frequently Asked Questions

People of Play is where you can hunt for what you need in the industry.

Consumers can look for the next big hit, or learn more about their favorite products more deeply.

Innovators can use the POP platform to showcase their products & themselves, to get known and get licensed.

Companies can find new & exciting ideas, discover new products & connect with innovators.

Play Advertising and PR Teams can get the word out about toy & game launches and awards.

The industry of play is huge, constantly evolving, and can be daunting for innovators to get into and keep track of. Having been part of this world for decades, we've done our best to create spaces for innovators to build the connections they need and get the recognition they deserve.

So it was time to create a single place where any curious soul could find the answer to things like:

  • Who made this amazing thing and what's the story behind it?
  • I have an idea for a game, how do I start?
  • I need someone with specific skills to make a thing, who can I find?
  • I made an amazing thing, how do I showcase it?
  • What new and exciting things are coming up in the industry?
