Big Potato and Dominic Yard scoop Inventors’ Dinner WITTY Prize for Chicken vs Hotdog

Big Potato and inventor Dominic Yard have won the WITTY Prize at this year’s Inventors’ Dinner for their party game, Chicken vs Hotdog.

Inaugurated in 2013, the WITTY (which stands for Winning Inventor Toy of The Year) is presented to the inventors of a product introduced in the preceding year and judged by event attendees to be the most exciting and inventive.

Big Potato previously won the award back in 2020 for their hit movie game, Blockbuster.

“We’re chuffed to bits to win this award,” said Dean Tempest, CEO and Co-Founder of Big Potato Games.

“While the game does look very silly, the actual game engine behind it is one of our best. It’s that perfect blend of easy-to-learn and quick to play, whilst easily raising smiles along the way. This award recognises that, and we couldn’t be happier”
