UNO™ - DECEMBER 2024 UPDATE

We're Snap Finger Click, a small independent team of party game developers. We’ve
previously worked with Ubisoft on Family Feud® and Trivial Pursuit Live! 2, and we
took over the development of UNO™ earlier this year. We’ve already delivered the UNO
Party! Mania™ DLC to you, a Twitch Extension, a Happy Hour feature to give you free
access to the game’s DLC, bug fixes ❤️‍🔥, and more.
When we started on the game, one of the first things we did was to carefully look at
the existing reviews and other areas where you, as a player, leave feedback (hello
Reddit 👋). We’re looking into some of the most frequently-mentioned topics you’d like
to see addressed, and what features you’d like to see. A common point of feedback has
been about the online multiplayer mode of the game. We’re pleased to say that, with
this new update, your online multiplayer experience should be significantly smoother
(more on this below).
We know UNO™ is hugely popular on Twitch, so for all you streamers we’ve added a
new dedicated Twitch mode. The Chat Chaos mode is a different way to experience
Twitch interactive features in UNO™, using the chat for viewers to type in commands.
In this mode, the game reads in the text from the viewer chat. Viewers are invited to
vote on different disruptions that their host will have to face. Will they vote to flip the
host's hand of cards around? Will they ban red cards from play? Or our personal
favourite, Twitch Plays UNO™ where the viewers take over the game! And of course,
you can also ask your favourite Twitch streamer to check out this mode and see how
you can bring chaos to their game. The Twitch Chat Chaos mode is in addition to the
UNO™ Twitch Extension that was launched earlier this year.
With the holiday season in full swing, we thought it would be nice to give players a
special bonus. You’ll notice two brand new card decks: Winter Flora and Winter
Solstice. We’ve also added some festive avatar frames: the lively Winter Fun, and the
super cute Hotspring Hideaway. And what’s more, we’ve composed a retro holiday
soundtrack, “Deck the Halls with Synths”. This music harks back to the golden era of
classic 80s winter hits and is sure to give you a nostalgic holiday season! You can
unlock all the new themed content for free by playing UNO™.
As with every UNO™ update, we also bring you bug fixes, polish, and general
improvements to give you a smoother UNO™ experience. We’re always listening to
your feedback and suggestions, and making improvements to UNO™ is an ongoing
area of focus for us, so if you find an issue with the game, please get in touch with
Ubisoft Support and provide them with as much detail as possible.
We have an exciting 2025 ahead of us for UNO™, but in the meantime, we’d love for
you to check out this new update!
