Small Business Breaks Big: Dolphin Hat Games Expands with Dedicated Section at Target

Target Adds Dedicated Section as Dolphin Hat Games Grows From Viral Hit to Successful National Brand

DAYTON, OH, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dolphin Hat Games, the family-run publisher behind the viral hit “Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza,” is making waves in big-box retail with its own dedicated section at Target stores nationwide. The expansion includes a brand-new game, “Jelly Fish Toast and Jam,” available exclusively at Target through January, alongside three additional titles: “Bing! Bang! Boom!,” “I Know… You Don’t,” and the “Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza Ridiculously Large.”

The move marks a milestone for the small business, which carved out its niche in the gaming world with quick-to-learn, fast-paced party games that bring people together. Dolphin Hat’s rise from local game shops to Target shelves underscores how independent publishers can break into mass retail while staying true to their roots.

“‘Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza’ has quickly become one of our guests’ favorites – it’s fast, fun and accessible for all ages,” said Jen Galvin, senior buyer at Target. “When we saw the new lineup, we knew it would resonate with families looking for games that bring everyone together. The response has been great, and we’re excited to continue growing with Dolphin Hat Games.”

For Dolphin Hat, the national spotlight reflects both perseverance and passion.

“Seeing our games on Target shelves is a dream come true for a small company like Dolphin Hat Games,” said Dave Campbell, CEO of Dolphin Hat Games. “What started around a kitchen table has grown into something so much bigger than we ever imagined, thanks to fans who have embraced ‘Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza’ and our other titles with so much love. We’re beyond excited to keep growing and to share more games that create laughter and connection for families everywhere.”

The partnership with Target also signals a trend: major retailers recognizing the consumer appetite for independent party games that are simple, inclusive and fun. Dolphin Hat’s latest lineup continues that formula, offering families new ways to gather, play and laugh together.
