Nex & Hasbro are expanding their collaboration

Nex and Hasbro are expanding their collaboration to launch a new suite of interactive family games exclusively for the award-winning Nex Playgroundconsole.

Deepening the relationship

Building on the success of the Peppa Pig: Jump & Giggle game launch on Nex Playground last year, Nex and Hasbro are deepening their relationship to transform some of the most popular family board games of all time – HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS, CONNECT 4 and CANDYLAND. HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS: MOVE N’ MUNC is the first in the suite of Hasbro games to launch, available on Nex Playground starting today. Using proprietary AI motion tracking technology developed by Nex, players use their whole bodies to jump, squat and wave their arms to help the Hippos chomp the fruit they love! Up to four participants can play simultaneously.

Two additional titles

Two additional titles based on the classic CONNECT 4 and CANDYLAND board games will be released later this year. Each title will put a new spin on the original strategy game by introducing a throwing mechanic, which adds an element of hand-eye coordination. All games will be suitable for ages 5 years and up and can be played individually or by up to four players, including players of different ages and heights. The cooperative and communicative aspect of the games is also aimed at helping kids with social and emotional development.
