Our continued growth reflects the lasting relationships we have established with our customers, employees, suppliers and retail partners.
At the heart of Mind Games lies a refined belief: the right product can awaken curiosity, inspire meaningful connection and transform an ordinary moment into a shared experience.

Our assortment brings together respected global brands, highly anticipated releases and emerging trends across gaming, collecting, creativity and play. Every category is selected to offer something engaging and memorable, from meaningful gifts and family traditions to serious hobbies and growing collector communities.
Today, Mind Games operates more than 30 retail locations across Canada and the United States, each owned by the company. Our physical presence is complemented by an established multichannel commerce network that encompasses our own online store and leading digital marketplaces.
As we continue to expand, we remain committed to delivering distinctive retail experiences, introducing our customers to products worth discovering and bringing the world of Mind Games to new communities.
Our History
Mind Games opened its first location in 1993 with a vision to redefine specialty retail through a refined sense of discovery, imagination and exceptional personal service.
Over the decades that followed, the company expanded across Canada and into the United States while remaining privately owned and true to its founding principles. What began as a single store has become an established North American retail organization, with more than 30 locations and an integrated digital commerce platform.
Our growth has been built thoughtfully through enduring relationships and a clear understanding of what makes specialty retail meaningful. As Mind Games enters its next chapter, we remain committed to elevating our stores, refining our digital experience and empowering the people who bring our brand to life.
