Bill & Ted’s Riff in Time is a board game based on the eponymous comedic sci-fi franchise that has spanned from 1989 to present day. The artwork and design was done by Warcradle Studios members Brandon Beren, Jon Cartwright, James Ginn, and Michael Watson, with art direction by Roberto Cirillo.

Evoking the aesthetic of the posters for Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, the graphic design for the game features a retrofied Cortado, set in an orange and pink, outline and drop shadow combo, as well as in extra-emphatic all caps for call-out text. “Riff in Time” and secondary text are set in Agenda, “one of the iconic typefaces of the nineties” according to Adobe.
