Game Night in a Can Teams Up with Barnes & Noble and Unveils a Revolutionary New Travel Game at Toy Fair 2018

Los Angeles, Ca — February 17, 2018 — Game Night in a Can, the Kickstarter-funded party game is heading into Barnes & Noble this March. “This has been a goal of ours since we created the game, so we’re very excited to start working with Barnes & Noble as a part of their return to a focus on highly-curated books and games,” says Co-Owner Jason Lautenschleger.

Game Night in a Can is already sold at independent retailers across the country, as well as the major retailers Tilly’s and Box Lunch.

Premiering at Toy Fair 2018, creators Jason Lautenschleger and Barry McLaughlin have taken the creative game mechanics of Game Night in a Can and used them for a brand new travel game, Dr. Biscuits Radical Road Trip. This collection of 60 original games to play in your car includes games to play at rest stops, games for interacting with fellow travelers and a role-playing game—all part of 6 different categories of games and challenges that are sure to delight players of all ages and personalities.

“We hope this inspires people to hop into their cars just to play this game,” says Barry McLaughlin. Citing the fun they would have on car trips as children, McLaughlin and Lautenschleger say that their goal is to use their highly-engaging games to get kids off of their iPads and interacting with the people and world around them.

Both Dr. Biscuits’ Radical Road Trip and Game Night in a Can will be on display at Booth #6756 at NY Toy Fair.

About the creators of Game Night in a Can:
Owners Barry McLaughlin and Jason Lautenschleger met on their first day of school at UCLA and have been friends and collaborators ever since. They began with a comedy band called the Bicycling Mariachis, playing at clubs like the Whisky-a-GoGo and the Viper Room, which led to live sketch comedy shows, which eventually led to live game nights. After many evenings hosting these live comedy game nights at locations like the Hollywood Improv, they decided to create a play-at-home version, and Game Night in a Can was born.

A fun fact about Barry and Jason is that they have appeared on 13 game shows between them, including Barry winning the Showcase Showdown on the Price is Right, and Jason winning a Daily Double on Jeopardy.
