Arise Entertainment

Arise Entertainment, LLC is an independent creative studio built by Chris and Greg Surrett-Forgach that designs and produces original indie board and card games, paranormal & video content, music, and tarot products. The company is known for high-quality, inclusive entertainment experiences that blend creativity, storytelling, and social impact.

We believe entertainment should do more than distract, it should entertain, unite and empower. Whether you're diving into a haunted investigation, discovering new music, or gathering around a board game with friends, every Arise Entertainment project is designed to spark joy, provoke thought, and celebrate the stories that make us who we are.

Our games are proudly rated 5 stars on Amazon, Walmart.com and Etsy.

In addition to its creative work, Arise Entertainment is deeply committed to giving back. Select products—most notably Tim’s Playlist Music Trivia—donate a portion of proceeds to suicide awareness and prevention charities, with a new charity selected each year. This mission-driven approach ensures that every purchase supports both great entertainment and meaningful causes.

We are proudly an LGBTQ+ owned company.
