Körvonal was created in Hungary during the pandemic by Inez Priger creative brand. The deck of cards was co-designed by Inez and graphic designer Zsuzsi Erdélyi.

The peculiar characters of Guess Who? Spot The Bad Guy! are the product of the imagination of Elena Pokaleva, a Russian native who works as an illustrator in Prague.
