The Twister Air party game is an app-enabled version of the iconic pastime that incorporates new elements of gameplay for participants of all ages.
The game works by having participants wear colored wristbands and ankle bands, and respond to the augmented reality (AR) onscreen action rather than having to twist and contort themselves on a floor-based play mat. This will get players up and moving like never before, while the incorporation of music breathes new life into the gameplay experience. The game is suitable for one or many players aged eight and up, and is available now on Amazon ahead of a wider retail launch taking place August 1, 2023.
SVP & General Manager, Hasbro Gaming Adam Biehl spoke on the new Twister Air party game saying, "This new version of Twister will implement augmented reality technology to bring classic Twister gameplay that originated in the 1960s to modern-day and will surely give players of all ages an exciting new, music-inspired experience to make memories from."
