Smart speaker brand Sonos boasts a musical party game that is bound to entertain guests during holiday dinners and get-togethers. All participants need is Wi-Fi, the Sonos mobile app, pens, paper, and a hat. Players are invited to write three situational prompts that call for a catered music intervention. These can range from things like 'horrifying wake-up calls' to 'songs to sing in the shower.' The pieces of paper are thrown in a hat. The 'MC' is in charge of pulling prompts, while the rest are DJs. Each song is played for about 30 seconds and the MC picks a favorite. Each song is one point and the first to reach five wins.
Sonos' musical party game is debuted through a video campaign featuring Bobby Brek and Karamo Brown from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
