It has come to our attention that the designs for two of our carnival games included artwork taken directly from Origame’s games Kopi King and Chope!. Additionally, the design of Kopitiam Hero closely imitates the font, style, and colour of the Kopi King logo.

These elements were wrongly used without permission and were taken from Origame’s website. This was not just an oversight — it was a lapse in due diligence on our part. The use of Origame’s artwork and the imitation of their design elements happened because proper checks and approvals were not in place.
We take full and unequivocal responsibility for this failure.

There is no excuse for this lapse. We are truly sorry to the creators at Origame whose work was used without authorisation, and to the wider community who places trust in us to act responsibly and respectfully. We deeply regret the harm this has caused.

We have since reached out to Origame to personally express our sincere apologies, and we’re grateful to have had an open conversation that led to a mutual understanding and a positive resolution.
Please be assured that we take this matter extremely seriously. We are already implementing stronger internal processes to ensure all visual assets used in our projects are properly sourced, licensed, and credited. This experience has been a hard but important lesson, and we are committed to doing better.

At The Arcade People, we have always aimed to support and celebrate the local Arts and Culture scene. We are truly sorry for this breach of trust.
To those who brought this to light — thank you. Your voices matter, and they push us to grow. We are listening, and we will do better.

Regard,
The Arcade People Team
