We purchased a Wii last year to give to the kids for Christmas. We also purchased a few kid friendly games as well (of course!) and right off the bat, they loved it. Being that the Wii was the first gaming console we had ever introduced them to we were a little worried that it wouldn’t be of any interest, but again - it was a total hit. They have been playing the same several games ever since and were more than excited when the new Birthday Party Bash game arrived complementary of Mom Central. Released by 2K Play, Birthday Party Bash is a new unique way to throw a memorable and fun party for your child in the comfort of your very own home. And it doesn’t cost a fortune.

Birthday Party Bash is a super fun ‘party-in-a-box’ from the very moment you turn it on. It includes 20 fun birthday party games, 12 ready to mail invitations, coupons for party supplies AND Duncan Hines and a party planning guide packed full of helpful suggestions and tips. Talk about taking all the stress out of birthday party planning!

Now we don’t have a birthday to celebrate until the end of August, but I couldn’t wait that long to sample the game. My kids (and the neighbor kids) absolutely had a blast . And it continues to be pretty popular. Basically this is how it works; up to 12 party-goers can whack, roll, splash, pop and shimmy their way through over 20 birthday games. My kids favorite seems to be the sack race, but the present frenzy, bug catcher and the birthday blowout are all tons of fun too.

There are 10 themed rooms for boys and girls, enough for the birthday star to make it a party of their own. The birthday star can even create their own virtual character as well as characters for all their guests. Happy Birthday even plays karaoke style when it’s time to serve the cake.

If you are looking for a fun and creative, yet low-key, inexpensive and stress free birthday party for your child this year, check out the Nintendo Wii Birthday Party Bash.

It’s f-u-n for all ages!
