Young Inventor Challenge Winners with Great Game Concepts will See Their Hard Work Pay Off and Bring Fun to Other Kids and Families!

BELOIT, Wis. (January 28, 2019) — PlayMonster, a proud sponsor of the Chicago Toy & Game Week’s Young Inventor Challenge, is proud to be producing the fun and creative games of two of the recent years’ winners. The new games will be revealed during North American International Toy Fair in New York, February 16 – 19 at booth #435.

PlayMonster is a proud sponsor of the annual Young Inventor’s Challenge held in Chicago during Toy & Game Week. The Young Inventor Challenge provides an opportunity for children to showcase their own original toy and game inventions to toy industry professionals, members of media and the general public and ignite their imagination, creativity and presentation skills!

Because PlayMonster believes in the importance of play, and the importance of encouraging and nurturing play and creativity, they take part in the Young Inventor Challenge event, reviewing concepts and offering mentorship and advice to young inventors. With that, they have taken the opportunity to work with young people and produce their game ideas.

Goo on My Shoe™, a board game invented by 9-year-old Edie, is a fun pathway game with 3D shoe pawns that “walk” around the board, trying to avoid the little blobs of putty-like goo that could be things such as gum, poo, slime, etc. Players can also strategically leave piles of goo for other players to encounter. The goal is to make it to the fountain and “wash” the goo off your shoe! For 2 to 4 players ages 4 and up, this game will be available Fall 2019.

Draw Into Crime™, a “sketchy” game by 11-year-old Tiggy, is a mix or mystery, deduction and drawing! A crime has been committed, and one player has seen the suspect. Other players ask questions to try and figure out what the “perp” looked like and draw a sketch of the criminal. The player who gets closest to the actual picture of the suspect wins that round! You don’t necessarily have to be a good artist, just a good detective! Perfect fun for 3 or more players, ages 6 and up, Draw Into Crime will arrive on shelves in Fall 2019.

Jeff Foxworthy’s Successful Relative Insanity Game Gets a Follow up One Year Later

BELOIT, Wis. (January 28, 2019) — When PlayMonster launched comedian Jeff Foxworthy’s hilarious game Relative Insanity at last year’s Toy Fair, it was the beginning of a very successful game line. Because it’s such a hit, and fans and players are begging for more hilarious content, Foxworthy wrote more material about crazy families and PlayMonster developed a smaller stand-alone game that can also be added to the original. The game will be revealed during North American International Toy Fair in New York, February 16 – 19 at booth #435.

Game play is the same as the original game fans love, allowing player to mix and match bits of Foxworthy’s comedy that creates wacky situations about family. Everyone has a crazy friend or family member (or two or three…) and can totally relate to this game’s hilarious situations and humor!

In Relative Insanity, one player will read a setup card, such as “When the customs agent asked my mother if she had anything to declare, she blurted out…” and the other players will decide which of their punch line cards they want to play. So maybe you’d end up with these statements:

1. Your face could stop a clock.
2. I can’t button my britches!
3. In my fantasy, I’m wearing a camouflage thong!
4. I will pay you to scratch my chigger bites.
5. I have a little condensation in my basement.
6. Girrrrrlllll, please!

 

The reader then gets to choose their favorite punch line, and the owner of that card gets a point!

This peggable game features 30 all new setup cards and 150 all new punch lines. Foxworthy originally created the game with laughter in mind, inspired by the insanity of his own family and friends. And because the insanity never ends, he keeps on writing more cards! Relative Insanity Expansion/Travel Pack is a fun game on its own, or added to the original game, and is for 4 to 12 players, ages 14 to adult, and lands on shelves in Summer 2019.

Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country. He is the largest selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee and best-selling author of 11 books. Widely known for his Blue Collar Comedy Tour and redneck jokes, his act goes well beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature.

The new games will be revealed during North American International Toy Fair in New York, February 16 – 19 at booth #435.

The Logo Game joins PlayMonster’s award-winning party game line for 2019.

On the other end of the spectrum comes a sarcastic fish that’ll tell you to “Kiss My Bass!” This game, which could also be an amusing novelty gift, features a 3D electronic talking fish that dares/tells players to touch him in certain areas (touch points) and responds whether the player does it correctly or not—he’s not happy if you don’t do as he says! Players take turns touching his fin, back, etc. or kissing his lips or his…ahem…”bass.” If he farts on a player during a smooch, that player is out! A hilarious game for two or more players, ages 10 to adult, Kiss My Bass will land on shelves in Fall 2019.

Mirari Remains an Innovative Brand with Great Play Value, Now with a New Look

BELOIT, Wis. (January 28, 2019)  — PlayMonster has grown its Mirari® brand to meet the needs and desires of today’s parents, who are looking for premium toys made with different materials, such as wood. With that in mind, PlayMonster redesigned some of Mirari’s most popular toys, and created a new one, all with brand new closed packaging as well. The new Mirari line will be revealed during North American International Toy Fair in New York, February 16 – 19 at booth #435.

Mirari’s new mission and promise that can be found on every package, and fulfilled through every toy: “Mirari means wonder, and our collection inspires classic play and new discoveries, encouraging children to learn and grow. Mirari promises wonderful experiences, opening a world of possibilities!” For 2019, the new Mirari line consists of five toys that will launch in Fall 2019.

Pop! Pop! Piano®, a best-seller in the Mirari line, maintains its fun musical play with two sound modes: classic piano and silly sounds (with all new sounds). The balls pop up with each key that is pressed for fun visual stimulation. When children press the soft and squishy center Mirari button, they will hear the new signature Mirari giggle! The top of the keyboard area is made using sustainable wood for a rich look and feel. For ages 12 months and up.

myPhone®, another Mirari favorite, allows for parents and other loved ones to record personalized messages for baby to hear! Adults use the remote to activate the phone, like magic! Children press the colorful buttons to hear fun sounds and phrases for engaging playtime. The toy phone and remote feature sustainable wood fronts for a beautiful look. For ages 6 months and up.

myStorymaker™ is an innovative new Mirari toy that has the familiar shape and size of a child’s tablet, but features stimulation for imagination! Pressing a colorful button from each section as it lights up allows children to create a story! As prompted, they choose a hero, adventure and happy ending that plays for them using adorable sounds and voices! Pressing the Mirari button activates a giggle and the narrator. Parents can also record the child’s name so that the story playback will announce who made the story! The front panel is made of sustainable wood. For ages 12 months and up.

myKeys™ feautures a smooth wood ring that holds three fun keys that look like a kitty, a piggy and a froggy! When children press the coordinating buttons on the wood-accented fob, they’ll hear sweet phrases that tell them what that animal says! Each key also has a different texture for a sensory experience. As with the other Mirari toys, the Mirari button activates the signature giggle. For ages 6 months and up.

Comeback Koala™ is a fun, rolling, tumbling toy for children! Play in two ways: roll the cylinder for babies to chase after, or press the Mirari button to activate the comeback feature so it rolls back when rolled! No matter how children play with it, the adorable koala stays upright inside and the contained balls roll and rumble inside! The sides are made with sustainable wood. No batteries required. For ages 6 months and up.

Kids Love Yetis and SpongeBob SquarePants, and They’ll Love These Games!

BELOIT, Wis. (February 6, 2019) — PlayMonster—the company behind award-winning games like Yeti in My Spaghetti® and Don’t Rock the Boat®—is launching two kids games for 2019. The new games will be revealed during North American International Toy Fair in New York, February 16 – 19 at booth #435.

Yeti Forgetti™ joins PlayMonster’s popular yeti games, Yeti in My Spaghetti and Yeti, Set, Go!™ This time, the yetis are hiding under igloos, and children draw cards that tell them to find a certain yeti, peek under igloos or move them around, all while trying to remember which yeti is where. If they accidentally lift up the wrong igloo and find the snow crab, it scurries off—and that means losing points! It’s a fun Hide-and-Peek Memory Game™. For two to four players ages four and up, this game is available Fall 2019.

A new personality joins the popular Stinky Pig® family: Burping SpongeBob SquarePants™. Similar to its farting counterpart, Burping SpongeBob play is fun and fast in hot potato fashion, but with a slightly different kind of gas. SpongeBob plays a fun, tropical tune while being passed from player to player, but if he lets one loose in your possession…you must take a token. The player with the fewest tokens in the end wins! Perfect fun for two or more players, ages six and up, Burping SpongeBob will arrive on shelves in Summer 2019.

The Adorable Craft Toys Fuzzikins and the Cool, Fun Fab Lab Line of Temporary Tattoos, Hair Color, Bath Bombs and More Expand PlayMonster’s Offering in US

BELOIT, Wis. (February 6, 2019) — PlayMonster’s recent acquisition of Interplay in the UK has expanded its product lines and categories, and with that, Fuzzikins™ and Fab Lab™ are the first to make their debuts in the U.S., and will do so during North American International Toy Fair in New York, February 16 – 19 at booth #435.

Launched in the UK in 2016, Fuzzikins has become a very popular customized toy line in the UK. Bringing it to the U.S. will be a seamless expansion, much like My Fairy Garden was for PlayMonster a few years earlier.

Fuzzikins are 3D adorable, fuzzy animals such as kittens, puppies and bunnies. They are all covered in white flocking, and come with special washable markers that children use to design, color and decorate their new animal friends. Children love creating toys that look like their own pets, or using their imagination to make colorful and unique animals! The best part is that the creativity can be endless because the color easily rinses off when the character is placed under running water. Once it’s dry, children can start all over!

The Fuzzikins line also includes playsets and vehicles so children can create their very own animal world, which adds even more play value to this craft toy, and is fun for girls and boys, ages 4 and up. Look for it on U.S. shelves in spring of 2019.

Fab Lab was launched in the UK in 2015 and was a hit right from the start, with TV advertising running since 2015. Having never offered an activity line such as Fab Lab, PlayMonster is excited to expand its category offering with a high-quality, proven product line. Fab Lab features a range of activities such as Glitter Tattoos, Bath Bombs, Hairlights, Nail Art and Tie Dye kits. The line includes a wide range of on-trend kits to interest everyone, and all products are non-toxic and include components from only the top cosmetic factories.

Fab Lab, is not about beauty, glamour or sexuality—it focuses on allowing girls to explore, play and experiment with their style and individuality in a safe and fun way. Each kit includes full-color instruction booklets, and is geared toward ages 8 and up. Look for Fab Lab on U.S. shelves in spring of 2019.

Don’t Get Too Attached to Your Word…or Your Points…the Next Player Could Sabotage You!

BELOIT, Wis. (January 28, 2019) — Word games are a staple with game lovers, and PlayMonster has an all-new one with some added features that add a new dimension to word game play! The new game, Full Circle™, will be revealed during North American International Toy Fair in New York, February 16 – 19 at booth #435.

Because the end of the word is just the beginning™, simply creating a word on your turn that’s worth a lot of points will not guarantee a win! A pool of letter tiles sit in the middle of the disc game board, and players take turns using letters to create words around the outer edge. Each letter you use is worth one point and score is kept using the pegging ring.

The twist and trick of this word game is that players use the letter(s) at the end of the previous player’s word to create their own. For every one of their letters you steal, they lose one point! More advanced players can begin using strategy with the words they create, trying to make it difficult for the next player to use more than just one of their letters.

Example game play: Player one spells LETTER. Now player two could use just the R and spell something like RING (player one loses one point), or use the ER to spell a word like ERROR (player one lose two points), or use the TER to spell something like TERRIFIC (player one loses three points). If player one had the opportunity to add an S and spell LETTERS, that would have limited player two’s options since they would have most likely only been able to use the S.

Children and families enjoy the laid-back (or strategic!) and fun word-building game, and word game fans can take it to the next level with strategic moves! Full Circle is a fun game for 2 to 4 players, ages 8+, and lands on shelves in Fall 2019.
