Leia Avery, known as the "Queen of Fun," is the founder of Just Play Entertainment, a game production and event company bringing nostalgic fun to nightlife, lifestyle, and corporate events in Chicago, Atlanta, and Nashville. Recognized by Chicago Now Magazine as a top 10 business for special occasions during the pandemic, Just Play also provides team-building experiences for clients like Google, Microsoft, and Chick-fil-A.
Leia created the all-new Petty or Not and the hit game Hip Hop Charades, originally launched in 2009 as Catch My Drift?!, the first card game inspired by hip hop culture.
