They’re social experiences, so it’s a way to share, connect and create memories,” Biehl said. “We know people love to have game night and have their friends over to play games. Perhaps the most significant difference from the online game is the team version, which has two people playing off a single board versus another team and guessing the word their opponent has picked. The timed and fast versions limit the amount of time players have to make their guesses.
The host uses the colored tiles to place over the letters to indicate what’s correct. The classic version pits players against each other as they try to guess the letters in the word assigned by the “Wordle Host.” Players take turns as the host, and each round ends after six tries - unless the correct word is guessed. In the board game edition, four different versions are available to play: fast, timed, teams and classic. “Wordle: The Party Game” maintains the hallmark of Wordle’s game play, which gives players six chances to guess a five-letter word with the assist of some color-coded clues (yellow if the letter is correct but in the wrong place and green if the letter is in the correct spot). "Wordle: The Party Game" is being released in October. It will be sold on Hasbro’s website, Target, Amazon and Walmart at a suggested price of $19.99. Pre-orders begin Thursday ahead of the game’s October 1 release. “It’s been a fun partnership to work with them on this.” “We start with what we’re trying to achieve,” Biehl said, including being “authentic to the Wordle experience as much as possible because we want to capture what got consumers really interested in the game.”Īdditionally, the team aimed to match “the quality of what the the Times is known for,” Biehl said. Hasbro’s gaming studio created many versions of the game before landing on the one that’s being released. (HAS) is paying the Times a licensing fee to use Wordle. The new title fits into the company’s pop-culture portfolio of games, including Monopoly editions based on “Bridgerton” and “Stranger Things.” Hasbro (HAS)’s fastest launches, Biehl said, as it took the team less than a year to create it. “Wordle: The Party Game” is one of Hasbro “That’s when we knew that there was something special about it.” “What sparked our interest was … how much fun people were having posting the results on social media,” Biehl said in an exclusive interview with CNN Business. Hasbro approached the New York Times to make a party game after noticing how popular Wordle had become online, according to Hasbro Gaming’s Senior Vice President and General Manager Adam Biehl. Hasbro is partnering with the New York Times, which owns the popular online word puzzle, to create “Wordle: The Party Game.” The new board game “delivers classic Wordle gameplay, but now in an all new way,” the companies said in a press release. Wordle is jumping from the P-H-O-N-E to the B-O-A-R-D.
