Carpool Karaoke Board Game

The first Carpool Karaoke Game, inspired by The Late Late Show with James Corden’s hilarious car ride sing-alongs with famous celebrities, arrives this week exclusively at Target stores nationwide. Big G Creative, known for their best-selling games based on pop culture icons like Bob Ross and Home Alone, is excited to announce their latest collaboration with The Late Late Show with James Corden’s popular Carpool Karaoke theme. Turn up the volume and get ready to laugh out loud, as players try to out-sing teammates and reenact the fun of the much-loved Carpool Karaoke episodes.

In the Carpool Karaoke Game, under license from CBS Consumer Products, players compete as teams to sing their hearts out and flaunt their best celebrity impressions, dance moves, and Carpool Karaoke trivia knowledge to charm the judges. For three or more players ages 12+, the game challenges players to go head-to-head to sing and dance their way to the finish line.

Here’s how the new board game works. Using your favorite music app or streaming service, choose a song and then select a challenge card. Spin a wheel to find out if you have to “sing it,” “work it” or answer a piece of trivia. You and your friends and family members will go on to discover your inner divas, display some disco moves and celebrate just how well each of you knows music. You may even be challenged to post your performance on social media!

The game contains a dashboard, 200 challenge cards and four share-it tokens. For ages 12 and up, it requires at least three players and around 30 minutes of your time. You’ll need a streaming music app, like Spotify, but everything else is included with the game.

Big G Creatives are the brains behind a whole slew of hilarious games like “Bob Ross: Art of Chill,” in which the goal of the game is to finish one of Ross’ masterpieces before he does in order to earn “chill points.” The person with the most chill wins the game!

Big G Creative is a board game publisher where big ideas, big laughs and big games are a big deal. Big G Creative believes in the power of bringing people together to play, connect and create memories.

It is time for the HairDUDables-Series One

The series introduces three boy or “dude” characters as friends of the Hairdorables main characters. Six versions of three boy characters will be available, with two unique looks for each. The boys have a single shared face mold.

The packaging has the Series One coloring of purple, with newly styled packaging. The exclusive Hairdorables character will be visible to the side, dressed with her shoes, and mounted on a small background with plastic shaped for her hair, similar to main series packaging for them.

The packaging on the Dudes side is very much similar to others. It opens with a center-style pull styled like Series One; however, this does not open in the center as it did and instead opens to one side, showing the background on the right with pop-up elements. The Checklist is on top of the perforated cardboard flaps or tucked with the background.

The two stands are translucent, match according to the doll set, and are behind perforated sections One and Two along with a reveal bag, requiring assembly. The item bags are like Series Three, but with a HairDUDEables print. The packaging for the boy dolls comes in multiple styles of doll packaging, each to accommodate styles; as none of them have exceptionally long hair, they are all enclosed.

  • M1, to accommodate the majority of styles.
  • M2, to accommodate the mohawk of Gamer Greg
  • M3, to accommodate the curled upstyle of Snack Attack Max

There are thirteen surprises in each package. The packaged reveal surprises in the following order if opened by flaps packaged: HairDUDEables Shoes/Hairdorables character Signature Card/Stand, HairDUDEable Accessory/Stand, HairDUDEable Accessory, Hairdorables’ Accessories together, dressed HairDUDEable Doll with his Signature Card.

Surprises:

  • Dressed, visible Hairdorables character in a line-exclusive look, already wearing her shoes.
  • Collector’s Sheet.[1]
  • Series Sticker Sheet. [1]
  • One randomized series photo sticker.
  • Character-look specific Shoes for HairDUDEable.
  • Character-look specific Accessories for both characters, for a total of four accessories.[2]
  • Dressed HairDUDEable Doll.[3]
  • Two Signature Cards for each character. This will be standard across each character, behind the Dude doll for his signature card and in a separate package for the Hairdorables doll.
  • Two matching translucent stands.
