Award-Winning Game and Puzzle Manufacturer Debuts

There is nothing more fun for best friends to do than get together for a Sleepover! With their own unique sense of funky style, Manhattan Toys’ Groovy Girls star in a brand-new board game from Briarpatch that combines a groovy sleepover with oodles of friendship and fashion fun! In the Groovy Girls Best Friends Sleepover Game, Tomika invites all of her best friends over to her Lush Loft for a get-together where the girls gossip, party, play dress-up and race to put on their Jammy Jive pjs and climb into bed. Girls join the party by choosing their favorite Groovy Girls characters and setting out to collect all of the Groovy Style outfits to fill their wonderful wardrobes!

There are five groovy destinations to visit—the Terrific Tent, the Vogue Vanity, the Posh Party, the Luscious Lounger and the Beautiful Bed. Each time a player lands on a destination, she selects and turns over two Flowers located on the game board that match that destination’s color. If the flowers match the outfit on her Groovy Girls’ Style Card, she removes the outfit from the playing board and places it on her card. The first player to collect all five Groovy Style outfits—from Ritzy Raincoats to Shangri-la Shut-eye, put on her Jammy Jive pj’s and get into her Beautiful Bed wins the game!

By design, Groovy Girls inspire social interaction and imaginative play, said Martine Redman, President of Briarpatch. In a style as unique as the Girls themselves, our new board game brings these colorful characters to life by inviting girls into their world of fashion and friendship-filled adventures.

We’ve selected Briarpatch as a partner for their extraordinary commitment to detail, attention to quality, and skill developing creative games that remain playfully true to the characters from which they take their inspiration, said Kiki Foget, Director of Product Development and Marketing for Manhattan Toy. Their board game is a great new addition to the Groovy Girls product line, giving fans the chance to experience the fun of Groovy Girls in a whole new way.
