About Us

A guide for the journey we never got.

Just Press Start exists for every grown-up who has watched someone play, been curious, and never known where to begin.

Who we are

Games have become some of the most beautiful places anyone has ever built. But the way in is full of jargon, assumptions and buttons nobody explains. For a lot of adults, that's where the journey ends before it starts.

We think of ourselves as travel guides. We pick the destinations worth visiting, tell you honestly what each one is like, help you pack, and walk the first few steps with you.

Meet Your Travel Guide

I didn’t grow up playing modern video games. From the outside, they looked complicated, intimidating, and maybe even a little overwhelming. But curiosity eventually won.

What started as trying a game became discovering incredible worlds to explore, unforgettable characters to meet, and stories that didn’t just unfold in front of me—I became part of them. The choices I made mattered. They shaped friendships, changed the course of adventures, and even determined how some stories ended. I wasn’t just reading a story anymore—I was living one.

Gaming opened my mind in ways I never expected. I explored places I could never visit in real life, solved problems I never thought I could solve, and found a community that welcomed me exactly as I was.

I also realized there were many adults who had never experienced this—not because they wouldn’t enjoy it, but because no one had shown them where to begin.

That’s why I created Just Press Start. My hope is to help other adults discover those same beautiful worlds, unforgettable stories, and the confidence that comes from taking that very first step.

Every expert was once a beginner. I’d love to help you begin your journey.
