Our Family Game Night Goes Digital with Discovery Bay Games Duo Pop iPad Games

Duo Pop iPad games

My family’s been having the best time playing Discovery Bay Games Duo Pop iPad games lately.   I am not a big fan of sitting on the couch and watching a movie, like the rest of my family is, so whenever we are all together on a weekend night I suggest that we play games together.  While we love playing classic board games and those that aren’t so classic, we also love trying new games out. Both of my kids, 12 and 5, LOVED playing Duo Pop iPad games.  We play on the couch, on the floor, and at the kitchen table. You can even play in the car!  Perfect for road trips!

Duo Pop allows you to add more interactivity and friendly competition to a night of games with you family and friends. With many of Duo’s fun game apps for iPad, your family has the ability to “pop” its way to entertainment.

Highlights Hidden Pictures, a digital version of the puzzles from the popular children’s magazine, has been adapted to a game that even young children will enjoy. Children can search for hidden pictures themselves to see if they can spot all of the pictures in a set amount of time or compete against friends to see who can find the most pictures first.

Duo Pop iPad family game

For word game enthusiasts, Swoop offers a fast-paced, vocabulary-building game. Duo Pop allows families to play a party version of the game where players grab letters and earn points by building words and pitting them against words from other players. Even younger children can play this game by creating three and four letter words.

Trivia buffs will enjoy Guesstimation which provides a question, such as “how many times a week does a cow stand up and lie down?” and asks players to submit a guess. The player with the closest guess wins the round. Not only will your family have a good time, but you’ll learn some fun new facts as well.

All of the games you can play with Duo Pop offer an entertaining new way to bring life to family game night.

Our super sweet Candy Land party and a giveaway!

Can you imagine.. Candy Land, cupcakes, face painting, pottery painting, bead bracelet craft, and hair-do’s.. all in an hour and a half?
Oh my gosh I can’t tell you how exhausted I was around 12:30 today.  I was pooped and ready for a nap, which is very unlike me.  All for good reason though.   Thanks to Hasbro and My Blog Spark, I hosted a Candy Land party for about 18 3-5 year old’s this morning.  I was thrilled to have Desiree from BottlesToBritches.com, Stacie from TheDivineMissMommy.com, and Amanda from OhAmanda.com at the party.  Check out their blogs!  You’ll love them.

Candy Land was recently redesigned, bringing the excitement that is Candy Land back to our kitchen table.  Forget the dinner, let’s play Candy Land!  My daughter is 4 and Candy Land is the “go to” board game when she has friends over.  Don’t even try to offer another game.. Candy Land is “IT!” and that’s the way it is.

Candy Land party - My Blog Spark

Candy Land is a classic ‘first game for children’, takes about 15 minutes to play, and because there is no need to read to play Candy Land, even 3 year olds can play it!

Candy Land board game

You too can travel down the rainbow path on a journey of discovery through enchanted lands filled with sweet surprises around every corner. Create delicious treats at the Cupcake Commons to deliver along the way, participate in a thrilling snowboard race down the Ice Cream Slopes with the Duke of Swirl, take a relaxing train ride through Gummy Hills and climb to the top of Chocolate Mountain. Be sure to make friends with Gramma Gooey, Lord Licorice, Princess Frostine and Princess Lolly of Lollypop Woods throughout your adventure, as you race to meet King Kandy at the grand entrance to the Candy Castle.

Here’s a short video of our Candy Land fun at Farmhouse in the City in Roswell, GA:
