“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with AirConsole and work with the team at Audi to bring Pictionary™ Car Party! to Audi’s infotainment systems. This collaboration is a game-changer, letting non-driving passengers join in on fun, interactive play using their smartphones. Most importantly, the front passenger can safely control the game without distracting the driver, ensuring that entertainment and safety go hand-in-hand. This is the future of social gaming on the move, making every journey more enjoyable,” claimed Erika Winterholler, Head of Business Development, Digital Gaming at Mattel in the usual boilerplate blather for such releases.

Aside from Pictionary™ Car Party, the AirConsole catalog has additional games across multiple genres, including racing, sports, trivia, and party games. These include Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? from Sony Pictures Television, Overcooked from Team17, and UNO® Car Party! from Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT).

AirConsole is now available through the Audi Application Store, which has apps specifically designed for in-vehicle use. Users first download the AirConsole app directly through the infotainment system. After that a scan of a QR code on the vehicle’s screen instantly connects players.
