Educational Insights® Partners With Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre To Launch Hilarious New Party Game Sculptapalooza™ With Original Video Content

GARDENA, Calif., May 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning toy and game manufacturer Educational Insights® (EI) has partnered with Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre to create original content, including a commercial, webisode, and instructional video, in support of the launch of EI's brand-new, laugh-out-loud party game, Sculptapalooza™.

Founded by comedic giants Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, Ian Roberts, and Matt Besser, Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) is considered the proving ground for the best and brightest talents in the comedy industry. A crew of UCB performers were the perfect partners to spread the word about the most hilarious and totally out-of-control party game of all – Sculptapalooza – and the results are as straight-up hilarious as the game.

The first-ever party game for grown-ups from Educational Insights, Sculptapalooza is designed for four or more players, offers a squishy new twist on traditional party games, and challenges players to sculpt whatever's shown on the cards they draw using squishy, squashy Playfoam® (included).  As players race against the clock to sculpt and guess in categories like Straight Up Sculpt, Put It on Your Face, Just Close Your Eyes, Playfoam Props, and Sculptor's Choice, Sculptapalooza takes grown-up game night to the next level.

As part of the partnership, performers from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre hit the streets of New York City to play the game with unsuspecting men and women around town. Even notoriously tough New Yorkers couldn't keep it together when the comedians challenged them to a round of Sculptapalooza. The webisode includes candid footage of unsuspecting, unscripted New Yorkers busting a gut to the over-the-top antics of the comedy crew.

Educational Insights General Manager Lisa Guili says, "A game night with Sculptapalooza will inevitably lead to fall-down-laughing moments and new inside jokes between friends. Upright Citizens Brigade was the perfect partner to bring the spirit of this game to life in video content for our fans and customers."

UCB Creative Director Nathan Russell says, "This game is spontaneous, silly, and is a ton of fun to play. As improv comedians we felt right at home. And working with the EI team was a delight and a true collaboration from start to finish."
