Hootenanny Games is a Nashville publisher of physical games that break the ice, share some fun, and bring on the belly laughs. ST8MNT had a ball working on the naming, package design, game piece component design for play, copywriting and crafting the story for Disco island Escape. All is groovy on Disco Island where the resident lemurs dance peacefully, until the island’s disco ball volcano erupts, and the lemurs must dance across streams of lava and navigate to shore.

Tropical Iridescence

The vibrant product packaging for Disco Island Escape pairs the rich colors of a tropical sunset with iridescent foil and spot (not sun) UV to create a dazzling disco lava aesthetic. The game features four groovy sifaka lemurs, tree-swinging animals who look like they’re dancing when they walk across land. The board game’s unique concept, brand graphics and illustrations were developed to provide an engaging story behind the gameplay.

Accessible for all

To escape safely, players must use dance move playing cards to take their foil-stamped lemur tokens across lava streams to reach their respective escape rafts located in the corners of the board. To keep the game fun for all players, we created a unique system of iconography that works alongside the colors on each of the game’s cards, allowing colorblind players to get into the groove.
