The first game in the series, Kids on Bikes, was inspired by 1980s coming-of-age movies like The Goonies. Cass Marshall for Polygon recommended it for fans of Stranger Things.[1] Kids on Bikes won the 2019 Gold ENNIE Awards for Best Family Game / Product, and Kids on Bikes: Strange Adventures! Volume Two won the same award in 2020.[2][3] In 2022, the second edition of Kids on Bikes raised $182,049 on Kickstarter from 2,793 backers.[4]

Kids on Brooms is about a school for wizards and witches.[5] On February 10th, 2023, the designers held a charity sale of the game with all profits donated to transgender rights organization Sylvia Rivera Law Project. This was part of a larger boycott movement against Hogwarts Legacy due to the anti-transgender activities of author J. K. Rowling.[6]
