Our Story
Where Passion Meets Purpose
At Black Blocks our story began with a simple yet profound realization: there was an urgent need for an immersive, authentic, and engaging game that could simultaneously entertain, educate, and uplift the Black community.
Driven by this conviction, our founder, David E. Rogers, envisioned Black Blocks — a game that would serve as both a celebration of heritage and a powerful tool for self-empowerment.
From meticulous research into Black History to the careful crafting of game mechanics that promote financial literacy, every element of Black Blocks has been designed with intention. We are committed to delivering a product that meets the highest standards of quality, authenticity, and educational impact.
Our Vision
To create a world where learning Black History and mastering financial independence is accessible, engaging, and celebrated through the joy of play.
We envision Black Blocks as a cornerstone in every home, classroom, and community organization dedicated to fostering Black excellence and intergenerational learning.
