Twister® game, one of Hasbro’s premier brands that is a
world-wide phenomenon in over 37 countries, into a digital form
while keeping all the uninhibited, physical fun you remember
from the original game.
“It’s hard to think of a more popular, cherished and culturally
significant board game than Twister. I myself have fond memories
of the laughs and outrageous fun I’ve had when playing with
friends and family,” said Jesse Sutton, CEO, Majesco
Entertainment. “Our game introduces a brand new play pattern
that is perfect for what Kinect was designed to do. Twister™
Mania for Kinect is as much fun to watch as it is to play and
it’s shaping up to be one of the most contagious Kinect party
games released.”
Twister™ Mania on Kinect™ for Xbox 360® combines the colorful,
expressive and cooperative gameplay of the original Twister®
board game and updates it for the digital generation. Twist into
fun with friends and family in this light-hearted, fast-paced
game that supports up to eight players with deep gameplay across
three game modes with 16 variations and over 1800 shapes to
play! This outrageous party game provides over-the-top hilarity
– so don’t hold back as you duck, squeeze, contort and move your
body to match your opponent’s silhouette, knock down blocks
against the clock and fill in thousands of crazy shapes of all
sizes and themes!
“Twister continues to be one of the most endearing and
recognizable brands in the world,” said Mark Blecher, senior
vice president and general manager of digital media and
marketing at Hasbro. “We’re thrilled to team up with Majesco to
take one of our largest properties and bring it to the
burgeoning world of motion controlled game technology, making
