About Our Forest Cabin

Our Mission

John Purcell Out of the Woods was born from a love of New Zealand's great outdoors — the misty bush tracks, the cosy DOC huts, the crackle of a campfire after a long day's tramp. We wanted to capture that warmth and adventure in a digital space where Kiwis and visitors alike could unwind with light-hearted entertainment.

Our mission is simple: provide a completely free social casino experience that celebrates Aotearoa's tramping culture without any of the risks associated with real-money gambling. Every game uses virtual "Acorns" — fun tokens with zero cash value — so you can enjoy the thrill of the spin or the reveal without spending a single cent.

We believe entertainment should be accessible, safe, and genuinely enjoyable. That's why our social casino runs entirely in your browser, requires no downloads, and resets your Acorn balance to 1,000 on every page refresh — a fresh start for every bush adventure.

Our Values

Transparency sits at the heart of everything we do. We clearly state that this is a social casino — not a gambling platform. No real money enters or leaves our cabin. We link to responsible gambling resources because we care about your wellbeing, even when the stakes are purely virtual.

We also value craftsmanship. Each of our three games — Timber Reels, Bushwhacker, and Campfire Wheel — was hand-designed with custom SVG artwork, bush-themed mechanics, and smooth animations that feel satisfying to play on any device.
