NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Just in time for Toy Fair New York 2025, Ageless Innovation, a global healthcare company devoted to reimagining how we positively live and age together through the power of play, will debut YAHTZEE Slots, the fifth age-inclusive game created under license from leading games, IP and toy company, Hasbro. In line with the holistic Ageless Innovation mission and product portfolio, the game has been thoughtfully redesigned to enrich the lives of older adults and their families through engaging play experiences. YAHTZEE Slots will round out a robust collection of four other reimagined Hasbro Games classics, including TRIVIAL PURSUIT Generations (2025 TOTY Nominee, Grown Up Toy of the Year), GAME OF LIFE Generations, SCRABBLE Bingo, and TABOO Charades.
Since the company’s inception, Ageless Innovation has remained at the forefront of play trends for older adults worldwide, specifically “kidult” and “eldertainment,” serving the longevity economy and highlighting toys, games, and activities designed to engage, connect, and sharpen skills for older adults. In 2023, the company was announced as Hasbro’s first-ever licensee focused on creating play experiences for older adults, underscoring Ageless Innovation’s expertise and leadership within the aging category; a title they still proudly hold today.
YAHTZEE Slots, like its unique predecessors, is a fresh take on a beloved game that has captivated families for decades. It aims to provide offerings beyond the original game components, including new age-inclusive features, and more in-game play opportunities, to ultimately create deeper connections across generations – with its strongest lens on older adults. Equipped with a real, tabletop slot machine, the game offers three ways to play – YAHTZEE Slots, classic YAHTZEE, and a fun, quick game entitled Dice Drop – and boasts an oversized score sheet and rulebook that make text easier to read. A family and friends game log is included so players can keep track of the fun times shared. The newest game in the lineup, YAHTZEE Slots, is expected to hit most major retailers in Summer 2025 (MSRP: $29.99).
“Like all of our Hasbro licensed games, YAHTZEE Slots stays true to the classic competitive gameplay that players know and love, and introduces two new, accessible ways for older adults to play,” said Ted Fischer, CEO and Co-Founder of Ageless Innovation. “As our impactful product and partnership portfolio continues to grow, we’re committed to offering innovative play experiences for players of all ages, particularly the aging population, and will continue to ensure that we deliver on our promise to enrich the lives of older adults with fun, social connection, and meaningful engagement.”
Proof of Ageless Innovation’s expertise remains in the data. More than a dozen clinical studies from AARP, UnitedHealthcare, and other trusted sources have shown that many products within the Ageless Innovation portfolio can enhance the lives of older adults living with social isolation, loneliness, and forms of cognitive decline including Alzheimer’s and dementia; a fact that remains more prevalent than ever given increasing reports of impaired cognitive health. Each product under the Ageless Innovation umbrella, including YAHTZEE Slots and its Hasbro-licensed predecessors, card games, and their award-winning collection of Joy for All Companion Pets, has the possibility to calm anxiety, facilitate intergenerational connection, stimulate conversation, and increase the quality of life for older adults facing challenges – without the use of medication. Beyond older adults, Ageless Innovation’s products, partnerships, and impactful programs aim to deliver solutions for caregivers, with many citing an improved quality of life after usage or participation.
