Nick and Aaron Carter to Launch Twister Moves

Hasbro signs pop music stars to promote new game

By , About.com Guide

Hasbro recently announced that Jive Recording artists Aaron Carter and Nick Carter will lend their voices and moves to the launch of Milton Bradley's new Twister Moves game.

Twister Moves, a dance version of the classic Twister game, challenges players to get on their feet and move as they follow the more than 100 dance commands called out by two recorded DJs on three CDs.

The agreement between Hasbro Games, Jive Records and the Carters will result in an exclusive Twister Moves-compatible music track featuring performances by Nick and Aaron Carter on a CD packaged with the game, according to a Hasbro press release. This marks only the third time the siblings have performed on the same recording.

The Carters will be featured in television and print advertising for Twister Moves.

"Nick and Aaron are thrilled to work together on the music track and launch for the Twister Moves game," said Julia Lipari, senior vice president at JIVE Records, in the press release. "This is a unique opportunity for them to reach everyone from kids, who like the dance component of the new game, to adults, who remember the classic Twister game."

The Twister Moves game comes with three CDs, each with 60 minutes of dance-style music, and mats. The DJs (a male who directs the left side and a female who directs the right) engage in comedic banter as they provide over 100 dance move directions to the players. First, players listen for the dance sequence as called out by the DJs. Then they follow the moves with their feet on the Twister Moves mat. Miss a move and you're out.

To personalize the experience and increase the challenge, players are allowed to make up their own special moves to incorporate into the game. Each CD increases the level of challenge -- and at the end of each, there are three to six Super Sessions, where players have to successfully complete four sets of moves together as one sequence.

Twister Moves, recommended for ages 8 and up, sells for approximately $19.99.
