Hippo Mat™ Hall of Fame
A thank you to the early supporters helping shape Hippo Mat’s story.
The Hall of Fame is our way of recognising the families, gift buyers, and supporters who chose to back Hippo Mat early.
Their pre-orders help bring these locally themed play mats to life and become part of the story from the very beginning.
More Than a List of Names
Being added to the Hall of Fame means you were there early.
You saw the idea, believed in it, and chose to support it before launch.
For us, that matters.
Hippo Mat is being built with care, long-term thinking, and a real love for imaginative play, learning, and local pride. The Hall of Fame is a simple but lasting way to recognise the people helping make that possible.
How the Hall of Fame Works
Customers who place an eligible early pre-order can choose to be added to the Hall of Fame.
You can be listed by:
- First name
- Family name
- Initials
- Nickname
If you would rather stay private, that is completely fine too.
