About The Geeky Pen
What's up, fellow geek?
Allow us to introduce ourselves: we are The Geeky Pen, a board game language studio. Since 2021, we've worked on 800+ projects for 150+ board game publishers in the areas of:
- Rulebook Editing
- Translation, Localization & Transcreation
- Graphic Design
Our team consists of 150+ professional freelancers working in as many as 25 languages. We work on strategy games, party games, children's games, IP games, and everything in between. We also localize crowdfunding pages and marketing assets.
Want to develop your rulebook text? Our rulebook editors will check your initial draft for errors, create consistency in your structure, capitalization and keywords, compose glossaries, write new text, and report rule gaps. The result is a polished rulebook that's ready to be localized.
Want to have your game localized in various languages? Our project managers work with multiple translation teams at once, making sure deadlines are respected and the translators' questions are forwarded regularly. The result is a rulebook that's consistent across all languages and culturally adapted to the respective target audience.
Want to have your translated text embedded into InDesign? Our in-house graphic designers create print-ready files in all languages, localize box titles, and make sure the correct bar codes and local information are mentioned on your game box.
Want to receive a free quote? An exceptional rulebook is only a message away.
