    Switch up family night this weekend!

    Hi friends, can I know how did you and your family spend the just passed long weekend? I believe everyone’s this long weekend is little different than ever. We didn’t host parties, we didn’t have a family & friends barbecue hangout, we didn’t have a getaway, we just stayed at home, being quarantined and being safe. During these special days, it’s nothing wrong to stay home, actually it is the thing we should do. But we need something to play with, especially some fun games!

    This long weekend, Ryan and I played a cool game that I want to introduce all of you know this. It is Mastermind game from Goliath.

    Can you crack the code?
    Can you create a code that can’t be cracked? 

    Mastermind is one of the world’s most popular games- it’s easy to learn and fast to play, and with more than 2,000 possible codes it’s different every time. The Codemaker sets a secret code, then the Codebreaker tries to match the code using logic, deduction, and maybe even a little bit of luck. After each move, the Codemaker must give clues that help the Codebreaker. Can you crack the code in 10 moves or less.. and can you come up with a code that will last for 10 moves?

    1. The Codemaker creates a secret code with any four of the pegs (there are six colors.)
    2. The Codebreaker places pegs in a pattern, trying to match the Codemaker’s pattern to break the code.
    3. The Codemaker signals if the Codebreaker has pegs of the right color and if they’re in the right position.

    Game contents

    • Mastermind game console with built-in storage tray and code shield
    • 108 Code pegs in 6 colors
    • 30 Key pegs in 2 colors
    • Complete instructions

    Bye, Felicia! Game Debuts; Say Hello to the Hottest New Party Game

    Saying goodbye has never been so fun! A new party game from Big G Creative, Bye, Felicia! incorporates the pop culture phrase in a fun and fast-paced game of wild word associations. For ages 12 and up and available now at Target, the game requires players to mind meld with friends and family to guess what others are thinking.

    Bye, Felicia! challenges great minds to think alike or at least guess how they think! Players have 30 seconds to list as many answers as they can before time runs out. The topics are random and range from “Foods You Eat with Ketchup” to “Bad Habits,” giving every round the potential for lots of laughs. When someone has an answer that doesn’t match another player, everyone says “Bye, Felicia!” good heartedly dismissing the person from that round of gameplay.

    “Our game designer came up with a great concept that will make friends and family laugh out loud,” said Shannon Swindle, Director of Product Development, Big G Creative. “It’s all about learning how well you know the other players and guessing what they’ll think, with the added twist of a goodbye diss.”

    The game’s objective is to match as many answers as possible with the other players to stay in the round the longest. Scoring tokens are collected each round and the person who collects the most tokens overall, wins the game!

    For three to eight players, Bye, Felicia! takes twenty minutes to play and includes 200 cards, 40 scoring tokens, eight in/out chips, one pad of paper, eight pencils, one die, one sand timer, and instructions.

    Bye, Felicia! The Game from Big G Creative hits Target stores at late June. Bye, Felicia! is a fun, fast-paced word association party game that can be played in just 20 minutes and is also fun to play over Zoom. Be prepared for lots of laughs as players try to guess what others are thinking.

    Do great minds really think alike? If not, players are good heartedly dismissed by saying, “Bye, Felicia!”  The game is for kids ages 12+ to adults, making it great for families at home.

    Available now at Target stores nationwide and Target.comBye, Felicia! The Game sells for $17.99 SRP. Published by Big G Creative, the game was invented by Peggy Brown.

    Urbanista Launches “London” ANC Earphones for Sleek “Sound & Silence” Experience

    Silence the outside world
    or let the sound in
    with Urbanista’s new active noise cancelling earphones

    Urbanista, the Swedish lifestyle audio brand, announces the launch of Urbanista London, an active noise cancelling true wireless earphone, designed to put the listener in control. London is the latest in the brand’s true wireless headphone line-up and lives up to their tagline: “Designed for Life in Motion.” Boasting an in-ear style that combines secure fit and crystal clear, isolated sound with comfort, simplicity, and reliability, Urbanista London allows listeners to either completely block out the outside world or hear their surroundings without interruption to their listening experience.

    Priced at $149 MSRP,
    London is available in four stylish colors
    and boasts full compatibility with iOS, Android and Windows devices.

    A Sound Experience Under Your Control

    Urbanista London is designed to provide the perfect fit and is comfortable for long periods of wear. Sound design for Urbanista London was developed by industry-leading acoustical engineer Axel Grell. “We have worked incredibly hard to perfect and fine-tune the sound of Urbanista London. The tiny details make for an earphone with incredible clarity and natural sound reproduction with ground-shaking bass and smooth highs,” said Grell. “The micro-speakers I have selected are at the acoustical heart of these earphones. Urbanista London boasts a wide frequency range with very low distortion, an important feature especially for an active noise cancelling earphone.”

    Whether you feel like blocking out the noise of a busy morning commute or would like to hear what is around you, Urbanista London puts the listener in control. With the new active noise cancelling (ANC) feature, at the press of a button, users are able to completely switch off the outside world. Listeners can otherwise remain conscious of their surroundings while enjoying a strong audio experience with Ambient Sound Mode. This feature enables listeners to switch to a voice-enhancing mode while listening to music or podcasts, allowing outside sounds in and ensuring the ability to hear any surrounding voices, loud and clear.

    Urbanista believes earphones should be intelligently designed and complement the user’s lifestyle. This is why Urbanista London earbuds have a built-in ear detection technology that is programmed to pause when the sensors detect that one bud has been removed from the listener’s ear. The music will stop playing completely when both earbuds are removed.

    Inspired by the City

    Urbanista London is packed with style and creativity, and its earphones are inspired by the vibrant and busy city. So that listeners can express their personal style, London is available at launch in Midnight Black (black), Rose Gold (pink), White Pearl (white), and Dark Sapphire (blue), and comes with a sleek and slim color-matched charging case. London has an IPX4 waterproof rating and is therefore protected from splashing water from any angle.

    Designed for Life in Motion

    Staying connected is easy with London. The latest in 5.0 Bluetooth connectivity means London is compatible with iOS, Windows or Android devices and allows users to have a voice assistant available at the touch of a button. While on the go, the built-in noise cancelling dual microphone allows users to make or receive stereo phone calls, adjust the volume, play, and stop.

    London provides a playtime of five hours, and with four additional full charges from its case, for a total playtime of 25 hours. The indicator lights let users know when they are out of charge. Users can conveniently charge the earphones in less than one hour on any Qi-certified pad or via the USB Type-C cable, straight out of the box.

    Anders Andreen, CEO of Urbanista, comments:  “London is a truly special product and we are very excited to welcome this model to our true wireless family. The small and ergonomic design provides the perfect fit that looks great, and with the active noise cancelling and ambient sound features, London is perfect for life in motion.”

    Urbanista London will be available online at www.urbanista.com as of May 25 2020.
