We built Hexeh to redefine strategy and make it social again…

We’re Richie and Mitchell, longtime friends and rivals, and we created Hexeh. As fans of strategy games, we wanted to build something that’s fresh, quicker, and social. For over seven years, our friendship has been shaped by competition, from late-night chess games to wild side projects. That mix of ideas, feedback, and passion is what makes Hexeh special.

We designed Hexeh to capture the depth of strategy games while keeping it quick and fun. It’s not just about competing, it’s about connecting with friends, having a blast, and sparking new ideas. Fast-paced yet deep, Hexeh brings strategy and social play together, making every match a shared experience. It’s the perfect game for anyone who loves strategy and wants to have fun with it.


Thank you for coming on this journey with us,

Who we are

Richie Ortiz

Richie

Richie is the visionary behind Hexeh. The idea for the game started with a piece of abstract art his wife made for their son's nursery. Something about the hexagons on canvas made him think, “the next big strategy game is right here on this pattern.” That thought turned into an obsession. He spent two years designing Hexeh from scratch, fueled by tea and late-night prototypes. Every rule, mechanic, and piece was tested, tweaked, and refined. Richie’s passion lies in building competitive systems that invite people in, not shut them out. Hexeh is his answer to a lifelong love of games and a desire to reshape how strategy can feel: beautiful, approachable, and deeply satisfying.

Mitchell

Mitchell is the marketing mind and community-builder behind Hexeh. With over 15 years in music and a decade of experience in customer strategy, he learned the art of storytelling, branding, and connecting with people from the stage to the studio. Everything he knows about marketing was earned in the music world, where grabbing attention, keeping it, and building loyal fans is everything. Mitchell brings this expertise to Hexeh, building a community of players who are as passionate about the game as we are.
