“Whether an in-house design superstar, an inventor relations guru or an invention studio that’s shined, the cream of the crop of toy and game design talent is within the pages of this year’s Mojo 100 – and as usual, it’s all been voted for by the design and inventor community,” said Billy Langsworthy, co-founder, Mojo Nation.

“While there are, deservedly, some familiar faces in this year’s 100, it’s worth noting that a whopping 68% of our 2022 listing is made up of figures who were not present in last year’s book.”
