Client testimonials.

“Bananagrams and GPI have been working together since the inception of our original game! The GPI team has always offered wonderful help and guidance on every level and has never let us down. I am happy to say the relationship has blossomed into many long friendships that I believe we all value very much”

Rena Nathanson
Top Banana, Bananagrams

We’re Kevin and Steve – the TENZI guys. We make simple, fast games. In fact, we like to keep pretty much everything we do simple and fast. That’s why we work with Grand Prix International. From our start 12 years ago until today, our relationship with GPI has always been super-easy and straightforward. They’re the experts in sourcing, production, safety-testing, shipping, etc., so we don’t have to be. They’re our one-stop partner for just about everything. Simple and fast. We like that.”

“It was September 1999, when Mr. Michael Fisher’s dad, then President of Grand Prix International, gave us the opportunity (nobody did this)  to import goods for the first time. He gave us our start in business. And for almost 26 years, we have had the honor and privilege to work with Mike and his amazing, knowledgeable, and intelligent staff.  They are our family.  And they have proven, family is everything. Thank you, GPI.”

Linda Weinstein
President, Marion & Co.

“GPI produced Laughing Kaiju’s debut game “The Zone” after its Kickstarter, and it’s been such a joy working with them! They helped me avoid so many of the mistakes I could have made as a first time designer & publisher, and jumped in to annihilate problems even when they had absolutely nothing to do with the manufacturing itself—and most of all the end product looks and feels incredible! I feel incredibly lucky to get to work with this team, and cannot wait for the many collaborations to come.”

Raphael D’Amico
President, Laughing Kaiju

“As a brand new publisher with no experience in the industry, GPI was instrumental in helping us bring our first game to life! They have supported us every step of the way and we are now launching our third game thanks to the success they have helped us achieve. We work closely with Tom (Wetzel) who has been the best teammate you could ask for!”

Brian Johnson
