7441 Relativeinsanitybox E1531227583145

Created by Jeff Foxworthy, Relative Insanity Inspires Millions of Hilarious Family Game Nights

 

BELOIT, Wis. (September 13, 2021) — PlayMonster LLC is proud to announce that their runaway hit game Relative Insanity, created by comedy legend Jeff Foxworthy, has reached one million games sold! Bringing billions of belly laughs to game nights, PlayMonster and Foxworthy continue to grow the Relative Insanity game line with more insanely-hilarious punch lines and inspire players to embrace the crazy humor in every family.

“Wow – one million games! And it was all inspired by the insanity of my own family and friends,” remarked Jeff Foxworthy, comedian and creator of Relative Insanity. “I’d like to thank the crazy family members out there – everyone has at least one, and that’s what Relative Insanity is all about!”

These laugh-out-loud party games use bits of Foxworthy material and punch lines that mix-and-match to create wacky situations. Everyone has a crazy friend or family member (or two or three) and can relate to this game’s universal family humor. 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 more than 26 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.

“Since we launched Relative Insanity in 2018, it has quickly become a fan-favorite among our robust portfolio of games at PlayMonster,” said Scott Flynn, VP Sales & Marketing at PlayMonster. “We’re excited to mark the one million milestone and continue the legacy of laughter alongside Jeff Foxworthy.”

To celebrate one million games sold, PlayMonster recently kicked-off a national promotion bringing Relative Insanity to comedy clubs across the U.S. Participating comedy clubs are hosting live game play between sets, limited edition Relative Insanity drink coasters with Foxworthy’s punch lines, game giveaways and of course, loads of laughs.

PlayMonster currently offers a range of Relative Insanity game options all made and played by Jeff Foxworthy, and the perfect games to bring the fun to seasonal family gatherings. Why not laugh off Thanksgiving dinner? The line-up includes:

 

  • Relative Insanity, the original game – In Relative Insanity, you read a setup card aloud, like: “When my brother brought out his new baby to show the family, Granny blurted out…”Then everyone else chooses one of their punchline cards to finish the phrase, like: “You are not the father!” or “Somebody took a trip to the land of bad decisions,” etc. In between laughter, the reader picks the funniest one to give that player a point. It’s a different hilarious game each time you play! Perfect for 4 to 12 players, ages 14 to adult. Available at Walmart and Amazon, for $19.99 MSRP.

 

  • Relative Insanity, the expansion packs: Take the fun of the original game to the next level with customized cards for extra laughs. The expansion packs are ideal to add even more content and fun to the original game. Perfect for ages 14 to adult and priced at $9.99 MSRP.
    • Yes, Guuurrrlll!
    • Family Gatherin’!
    • Old Farts!
    • Young’uns!

PLAYMONSTER ENTERS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH HASBRO’S BELOVED PLAYSKOOL BRANDS TO ENGAGE THE NEXT GENERATION OF TODDLERS AND GROW THE PRESCHOOL CATEGORY

Playskool

PlayMonster expands its partnership with Hasbro to include Playskool in 2022 and beyond

 

BELOIT, Wis. (August 24, 2021) – PlayMonster is pleased to announce that it has expanded its partnership with Hasbro by entering into a deal with Playskool, that will see PlayMonster strategically grow its preschool category in 2022 and beyond.  Both companies will work together to expand and broaden the iconic Playskool brand, bringing new ways to learn and play within the Playskool portfolio, while reimagining Playskool’s most beloved, nostalgic brands to engage millennial parents and a new generation of kids.

Pillar brands will include Playskool Weebles, remembered for their iconic wobble which has delighted generations of children through relatable themes, kinetic action, and humor-based play;  Playskool Glo Friends, a community of adorable, tiny, glow-in-the-dark bugs that illuminate a child’s world from morning to night; Playskool Little Wonders, beautiful sensory playsets made from sustainable wood, and infused with pops of color and engaging delights like lights, sounds and music; and The Original MagnaTab, a Montessori-learning, sensory-based drawing tablet that uses magnets and a stylus to teach letters, shapes and numbers, with the possibility to free-draw whatever a child can imagine!

For over 90 years, the Playskool brand has been synonymous with quality toys.  Research shows Playskool has 94% brand recognition and is perceived as classic, learning fun. Sharing those deeply rooted values, PlayMonster plans to reintroduce key, iconic sub-brands under the Playskool banner over the next several years, solidifying PlayMonster in the preschool category.

“I could not be more pleased about the continued and successful expansion of our partnership with Hasbro,” said Bob Wann, CEO of PlayMonster. “Preschool is a natural and strategic area of expansion for the company following our proven success in both the games and activities categories, and Playskool is a perfect brand to show off what we do best, bringing a fresh approach to universal, classic play.”

“We’re beyond pleased to expand our work with PlayMonster and to introduce a stellar new line of Playskool toys that will delight both kids and parents,” said Casey Collins, General Manager & SVP of Global Consumer Products at Hasbro. “The talented team at PlayMonster has demonstrated great skill and creativity in working with nostalgic brands, and we are looking forward to what we see ahead for the line.”

The past year has marked significant momentum and growth for PlayMonster, with the recent acquisition of craft and activities leader Ann Williams Group, added strength in leadership, focused expansion in licensing and brand partnerships, a slate of successful new product introductions, and the expansion of its global presence with the rebrand of Interplay to PlayMonster UK pointing to the company’s continued commitment to growth and innovation. This Playskool partnership will mark the third such licensing deal with Hasbro, following Spirograph in 2019 and the much-anticipated relaunch of KOOSH happening this month.

PlayMonster Playskool brands will be widely available across retail, starting early 2022.

PLAYMONSTER AND 9 STORY BRANDS CELEBRATE 70 YEARS OF COLORFORMS® CREATIONS WITH SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY SET

Picture1

Classic Vinyl Activity Toy Reaches 70 Fanta-Stick Years!

 BELOIT, Wis. (August 16, 2021) – PlayMonster and 9 Story Brands proudly celebrate 70 years of Colorforms® with a special edition 70th Anniversary set, available now on Amazon.com[JA1] . The anniversary set features over 500 colorful repositionable and interchangeable geometric stick-ons that stick like magic® for hours of mess-free, screen-free, creative play. Named one of Time Magazine’s Top 100 Toys of all time, Colorforms® repositionable sets have captivated generations of children with hours of imaginative storytelling and open-ended play.

Colorforms® started in the 1950s when art students, Harry and Patricia Kislevitz, bought rolls of flexible vinyl to create large works of art. They soon discovered that the colorful vinyl could stick to walls and offer an innovative new medium for children’s imaginative play. The first Colorforms® set — now housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) — was hand-cut by Patricia. Colorforms® has since evolved into a myriad of innovations and licenses, and inspired the preschool-favorite Netflix series Charlie’s Colorforms City, produced by 9 Story Media Group.

Did you know?

  • Colorforms® was one of the first toys ever advertised on television
  • Colorforms® was one of the first vinyl-based creative toys to hit the market
  • Over one billion Colorforms® sets have sold around the world since 1951
  • The late Harry Kislevitz was inducted into the Toy Hall Fame in 2020 for Colorforms® innovations

“Colorforms® has grown up with generations of families as a classic toy chest staple,” said Lisa Wuennemann, Associate Vice President of Marketing at PlayMonster. “This year, we’re inviting families to honor this iconic picture toy with the Colorforms® 70th Anniversary Edition set, and explore endless adventures using the simplicity of colored vinyl, laminated cardboard and their imaginations.”

Visit Amazon.com to bring your own Colorforms® 70th Anniversary Edition set home!

Limit: There is a limit of one (1) Entry per person per day during the Sweepstakes Period. For the avoidance of doubt, a person may be included in another Entrant’s Entry as a tagged friend and still submit his/her own Entry without violating the preceding entry limit.

 

  1. Prizes: One (1) Grand Prize winner will be awarded one (1) copy of the Zombie Chase Game. The ARV of the Prize is $19.99 USD.
  2. Odds: The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible Entries received.
  3. Winner Selection and Notification: At the completion of the Sweepstakes Period, on or about August 30, 2021, Sponsor (or its designee) will select one (1) potential winner in a random drawing from among all eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. Winners are subject to verification, including verification of age. Sponsor’s decisions are final and binding in all respects. The potential Prize winner will be notified on or about August 30, 2021 via direct message on Instagram to the social handle contained in the Entry from @PlayMonsterFun. Sponsor shall have no liability for potential winner’s failure to receive notification for any reason, including spam, junk e-mail or security settings, or any other technical difficulty, or incorrect or otherwise non-functioning contact information or failure to adequately monitor Instagram. It is Entrant’s responsibility to ensure that the privacy settings on their Instagram profile are set to accept direct messages. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, is ineligible, or fails to claim the Prize by 11:59:59 PM PT on September 7, 2021, the Prize may be forfeited and an alternate potential winner may be selected from remaining eligible Entries.
  4. Prize Winner Responsibilities: The Prize will be awarded in the name of the Entrant. In the event a potential Prize winner is under the age of majority in his or her jurisdiction of residence, the Prize will be awarded in the name of the Entrant’s parent or legal guardian. For avoidance of doubt, Prize will only be awarded to the Entrant or Entrant’s parent or legal guardian. Any “friends” tagged in the Entry will not receive a Prize. By accepting a prize (or any portion thereof) winner acknowledges and agrees to compliance with these Official Rules, which are final and binding. Winner acknowledges that decisions of Sponsor and its agencies, with respect to all aspects of the Sweepstakes, are final. No cash or other Prize substitution shall be permitted except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. The Prize is non-transferable. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to award a substitute prize of equal or greater value if the Prize described in these Official Rules is unavailable or cannot be awarded, in whole or in part, for any reason. The ARV of the Prize represents Sponsor’s good faith determination. That determination is final and binding and cannot be appealed. If the actual value of the Prize turns out to be less than the stated ARV, the difference will not be awarded in cash. Restrictions, conditions, and limitations may apply. Sponsor will not replace any lost or stolen Prize items. Unclaimed Prizes may not be awarded. This Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the United States of America/DC and a prize will only be awarded and/or delivered to an address within said locations. Winner will be solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes connected with receipt of Prize, the use and enjoyment of Prize, or any other connection with this Sweepstakes unless otherwise required by law or unless this requirement is waived in writing by an authorized representative of Sponsor, in its sole discretion.
  5.

  6. Terms & Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate, modify, or suspend the Sweepstakes should virus, bug, non-authorized human intervention, fraud, or other cause beyond Sponsor control corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes. In such case, Sponsor may select the potential winner from all eligible Entries received prior to and/or after (if appropriate) the action taken by Sponsor. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual who tampers or attempts to tamper with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or violates these Official Rules. Any attempt by an entrant to deliberately damage any website or undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil laws. Should such attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages to the fullest extent permitted by law.
  7. Limitation of Liability: By submitting an entry, You waive any privacy expectations that You might have with respect to the Entry or any personal information provided. By participating, participants agree (and agree to confirm in writing) to the extent permitted by law to release and hold harmless Sponsor, the Sweepstakes Entities, Instagram, and any and all Internet server(s) and access provider(s) and their subsidiaries, affiliates, advertising and promotion agencies, partners, representatives, agents, successors, assigns, employees, officers, and directors, (collectively the “Released Parties”) from any liability, illness, injury, death, loss, litigation, claim, or damage that may occur, directly or indirectly, whether caused by negligence or not, from: (i) such participation in the Sweepstakes and/or acceptance, possession, use or misuse of any prize, or any portion thereof; (ii) technical failures of any kind, including but not limited to the malfunction of any computer, cable, network, hardware, or software, or other mechanical equipment; (iii) the unavailability or inaccessibility of any transmissions, telephone, or Internet service; (iv) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Sweepstakes; (v) electronic or human error in the administration of the Sweepstakes or the processing of Entries.

  8. Disputes: THIS SWEEPSTAKES IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WISCONSIN WITHOUT RESPECT TO CONFLICT OF LAW DOCTRINES. As a condition of participating in this Sweepstakes, You agree (and agree to confirm in writing) that any and all disputes that cannot be resolved between the parties, and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweepstakes, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, exclusively before a court located in Rock County, Wisconsin having jurisdiction. Further, in any such dispute, under no circumstances shall You be permitted to obtain awards for, and You hereby waive all rights to, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees, other than Your actual out-of-pocket expenses (i.e. costs associated with entering this Sweepstakes or being tagged in an Entry). You further waive all rights to injunctive relief and have damages multiplied or increased. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitations or exclusion of liability, so the above may not apply to You.
  9. Miscellaneous: If any provision of the Official Rules or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance shall be declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of the Official Rules, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that the Official Rules shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefore another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable so as to give effect to Sponsor’s intent. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision. Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use, and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
