Clone Booth Launches
Clone Booth™ is Jackbox Games’ first title in the Another Weird Thing™ line of fun diversions
Chicago, Illinois – June 27, in the year of our Lord
2013 – From the makers of YOU DON’T KNOW JACK comes
Clone Booth™, the deranged photo booth app that allows you to
clone your face into bizarre pictures to share with your
friends.
The paid app (which is available at a 50% off launch sales price
of $0.99 for iOS and $1.00 for Android) uses a mobile device’s
camera or stored images to “Clone” faces into hundreds of odd
portraits in from different eras, ranging from the 1800s to the
1980s. With Clone Booth, you can show your friends how you would
look as an unsettling family of four, a homely baby or even a
half-human dog.
Included within the app is a full set of editing tools that lets
you manipulate images in numerous ways. The user can change the
brightness, contrast, size, direction and angle of the photo to
perfectly blend into portraits. Core to the app is the ability
to share cloned images easily through major social platforms
like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, as well as text message
and email.
“Many of our writers, designers and engineers are part of
Chicago’s improv comedy scene,” said Mike Bilder, GM, Jackbox
Games. “So we’re always coming up with bizarre app ideas that
crack us up and, in the case of Clone Booth, aren’t even a game.
The Another Weird Thing brand gives us a place to bring these
small, fun diversions to market.”
With the launch of Clone Booth and the new mobile trivia game
Lie Swatter™ last spring, Jackbox Games is building upon the YOU
DON’T KNOW JACK franchise. For the rest of 2013, fans can look
forward to the previously announced Word Puttz™, the next
Another Weird Thing app and even more surprises.
“For longtime fans of YOU DON’T KNOW JACK, Clone Booth gives you
a glimpse of what it’s like to work here at Jackbox Games,” said
Allard Laban, Creative Director. “Doctoring up funny images of
each other and sending them around the office is exactly the way
we amuse ourselves and we hope everyone has as much fun with it
as we do.”
