Dumbwood Announces Retail Launch on July 26, Ready to Turn Summer Break into a Game Night Adventure with AI-Powered TV Games

Dumbwood, the AI-assisted retro-style group gaming platform, has officially announced its retail launch date: July 26, 2024. Designed specifically for kids ages 13–15, Dumbwood offers a one-of-a-kind experience where users can create and play TV-based group games with the help of generative AI, just in time for summer break.

Available on Fire TV and Google TV via the Dahling TV app, Dumbwood transforms family rooms into collaborative play spaces with interactive charades, trivia, music challenges, and custom games that kids can build themselves. Unlike traditional mobile games, Dumbwood is designed for shared screen and group play only, encouraging teamwork and creativity.

What to Expect at Retail Launch

Retail launch will happen along with Angela laughs performance by Arman Chi. Members who purchase tickets for the comedy show will get a gift voucher for the Twig Plan. Free open house and instruction for the first 100 kids and Twig membership. Adults are welcome to participate as well

“This retail launch represents a new chapter for not only screen-time entertainment” but retail information as well. Our Dahling chat-bot/assistant can provide information about your product or create a product trivia that can not only educate the customers about new products but also make the experience pleasant at the door”. The use cases for general purpose chatbot and Trivia are wide. Retailers just need the supported TV and small monthly payment for support. One more retail location is coming in August in Dayton NJ . Create a simple trivia or any game, share it on our screens at Play NYC/Anime NYC on Aug 22nd and receive one year of membership free. Stay tuned for another surprise announcement.

How It Works

1. Download the Dahling app on any Fire or Google TV.
2. Scan the on-screen QR code to get the Memi app on a phone (works as a controller).
3. Choose a free game or subscribe to create your own.
4. Invite up to 4 friends to play on the big screen.
5. Sit back and enjoy the shared experience. No passwords, no downloads, no drama.

All games are group-oriented and TV-only, intentionally designed to promote social interaction and collaborative thinking.

Creativity Meets Technology

Dumbwood encourages creative expression. Kids use AI tools to:

• Generate charade prompts with fun visuals
• Build trivia on topics they care about (sports, books, movies)
• Create music-based games
• Build full-length custom “game shows” by combining up to 5 mini-games into a 20–30 minute TV experience

Creating games helps develop writing skills, storytelling, imagination, and an understanding of how prompts affect AI output, all while having fun with friends.

What’s Coming Next?

Dumbwood is just getting started. Upcoming features include:

• Multiplayer teams (more than 4 players)
• More AI models (OpenAI, Grok)
• Community-curated games
• Live artist streams with two-way interaction
• Custom school and camp programs

The platform is especially gearing up for the back-to-school season with games that promote language learning, general knowledge, and music appreciation.
