Netflix is levelling up living rooms with an all-new slate of party games that’s coming soon. This holiday season, subscribers will be able to go from ‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ to party games without having to leave Netflix — it’s an innovation that’s being launched by the streamer.
“We’re creating a completely new way to play games — one that’s as easy as streaming a show on a Friday night. All you’ll need is Netflix and your phone to experience a whole new level of fun on Netflix with instantly recognizable games like ‘LEGO Party!’, ‘Pictionary: Game Night’, ‘Boggle Party’, ‘Tetris Time Warp’, and a fresh take on the social deduction genre ‘Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends’,” the streamer said in a statement yesterday.
The games being unveiled, which can be also viewed and played on TV sets, include the following:
LEGO Party!: – Square off against your friends in the ultimate LEGO party game. Compete in hilarious minigames and hunt for gold through themed Challenge Zones.
Boggle Party: Race against the clock to find words (the longer, the better) in a jumbled-up letter grid. Play solo or make it a party with up to eight players.
Pictionary: Game Night: Draw ’til you drop, or one of your friends guesses what you’re sketching in this hilarious and fast-paced spin on Mattel’s classic group game.
Tetris Time Warp: Time-travel with friends to different eras of Tetris, from the 1984 original to the classic Gameboy version. Can you warp your way to a top score?
Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends: One person at this party secretly has no idea what everyone else is talking about. Figure out whose clues are fishy to unmask the crasher.
The streamer said this was just the beginning as more games would be rolled out for subscribers to have fun.
Meanwhile, a Bloomberg report stated that Netflix was making its video games available for play on TVs for the first time as per company’s co-Chief Executive Officer Greg Peters.
Speaking at the Bloomberg Screentime conference in Los Angeles on October 8, dwelling on one of key growth initiatives of the company, Peters said, “One of the gaming areas we’re going after is social gaming experiences that can show up on your TV.”
Netflix is specifically offering games that can be played in groups.
