Republic of Fun, my neighbors here in Raleigh, NC, are releasing Pinheads Party, a new Cranium-meets-iPad multiplayer game at the App Store today. Although the Republic of Fun’s manifesto decries genre-ism and the casual gamers vs. core gamers divide, this looks like an all-ages casual game to me. (Sorry, el presidente, but without some genre descriptors, I’m left telling you all that it’s um, blue. And pretty!)

Republic of Fun, developers of radically fun games, today announced the release of Pinheads Party on the App Store.

“We are more than excited to have Pinheads Party available for the launch of iPad,” says Mike Rasmussen, el presidente, Republic of Fun. “As a gaming device, we believe iPad is where it’s at, and that with our wildly fun games, Republic of Fun can enjoy great success in the App Store. This revolutionary device has really opened up our minds to the limitless gaming possibilities that it affords.”
Pinheads Party is a revolutionary game built just for iPad that utilizes the device as a digital board game. Pinheads Party has four categories of challenge activities that draw inspiration from the most popular board games of all time:
• Wonder Words: Can you speak, read and write? How about backward?
• Mega Mentals: Do you know enough about anything?
• Partial Arts: How well can you draw on that iPad screen?
• Ultra Physical: Can you act that out please?
Pinheads Party for iPad is now available from the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
