When in Rome, the first title in the series, is a travel trivia game that takes players on a journey around the world with Alexa Air. As players travel, they will meet 20 real locals recorded from cities worldwide who ask questions about local customs, culture, street food, and more. Players earn points when they answer questions correctly and collect souvenirs. Designed for kids ages 13 and up, the game launched this summer.
In Gnomes at Night, from PEACEABLE KINGDOM, players work together to maneuver magnetic gnomes around the maze to collect treasures before time runs out. Players must use communication, strategy, and quick-thinking skills to win the game. Designed for kids ages 6 and up, the game is available now.
Snot It, from KD GAMES, is a silly game that challenges players to collect boogers. Players fill the bowl with the foam boogers, put on the glasses, and wind the spinning booger bowl. As it spins, the player tries to pick the right colored boogers from the bowl using the snot hanging from the glasses. If a player doesn’t pick the correct color, he or she must return the boogers to the bowl. Designed for kids ages 6 and up, the game will be available in the fall.
