Netflix is spreading the word about its new social party games on smart TVs, which is free of charge and allows users to play games like Lego Party and Boggle Party by using their phones as controllers. The new and innovative program, which is part of an expansion of its gaming service, at the present time is only being featured in select countries and televisions, with plans for expansion as time goes on. Netflix adds that, in order to play the initial lineup of games, users are being instructed to select the “Games” tab, choose a game, and proceed by utilizing their phone as a control. The move — that comes just in time for the holiday season — will include recognizable games like LEGO Party!, Pictionary: Game Night, Boggle Party, Tetris Time Warp, and a fresh new take on the social deduction genre Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends, according to the netflix.com website. Netflix has listed and described the games: 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. More games are slated to follow.
