Nolan Bushnell, yes the legend, invites you to get involved in the First Act-it-out Party Game enhanced By Amazon Alexa And Google Home – Virsix Games are turning game creation on its head, crowdsourcing content for STAR AUDITION – Created by Nolan Bushnell (founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese), STAR AUDITION goes beyond traditional tabletop games by mixing analogue play with Amazon Alexa and Google Home to deliver cinematic elements to enhance gameplay and help set the stage. STAR AUDITION is an act-it-out party game, similar to Charades or Pictionary, where players take on the role of Hollywood actors auditioning for their next big break.
