About the Company
Arise Entertainment, LLC was founded by Chris and Greg Surrett‑Forgach, who set out to build a creative studio rooted in imagination, inclusion, and authentic storytelling. What began as a shared vision has grown into a multi‑division indie studio producing original board and card games, independent music, and paranormal‑focused multimedia series.
Together, they’ve created a space where curiosity, community, and bold ideas thrive—inviting audiences into worlds that connect, inspire, and spark joy.
Our products are available at AriseENT.com and our games are available through major retailers such as Amazon and Walmart.com, earning consistent 5-star reviews for their originality, quality, and replay value. Our music can be streamed on all major platforms—including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music—and our YouTube channel features video projects like Chris & Greg’s Haunted Road Trip.
Beyond creativity, Arise Entertainment is deeply committed to making a positive impact. Select titles, such as Tim’s Playlist Music Trivia, donate a portion of proceeds to suicide awareness and prevention organizations, with a new charity chosen each year. This initiative allows our customers to enjoy unique, high-quality entertainment while supporting meaningful causes.
