June Newsletter: The Launch of Pictionary™ Car Party
Pictionary hit the road in Audi cars, and QSApp powered funeral planning at Tuska Festival.
Howdy, it’s Karo from Quicksave!😎
Summer has officially arrived (though the Finnish weather might have missed the memo). 🌥️ Before we log off for some well-earned vacation time in July, we’ve wrapped up one of our busiest months yet.
In June, we launched Pictionary Car Party, a fun twist on the classic board game, where players sketch while others guess, turning any road trip into a laugh-out-loud competition. And just as the tires were screeching, QSApp rolled into Tuska Festival, one of the biggest metal festivals in the Nordics, helping festival-goers plan their own funerals (yes, seriously).
Let’s get into it 👇

We launched a brand-new game: Pictionary Car Party, now playable in Audi vehicles worldwide
QSApp joins Tuska Festival for an unforgettable real-world activation in collaboration with Funeral Home Mononen
🎨 Game On: Pictionary Car Party Is Live!
While QSApp has kept us busy this year, we haven’t forgotten our game dev roots. All spring, we’ve been quietly building something new, and now we can finally share it: Pictionary Car Party is officially launched!
Developed by Quicksave and published by AirConsole, Pictionary Car Party brings the iconic, world-renowned drawing game to life in an entirely new setting: your car. The game is based on the beloved Pictionary™ IP by Mattel, and turns any ride into a fun-filled, sketch-and-guess competition using just your phones as controllers.
Even cooler? It’s part of a major step forward in in-car gaming. In collaboration with Audi, the game is now available in select models featuring passenger displays and Active Privacy Mode, allowing passengers to play while the car is in motion, distraction-free.
Pictionary Car Party is now live in the infotainment systems of Audi A5, Q5, A6, A6 e-tron, and Q6 e-tron models across Audi markets worldwide.

⚰️ QSApp at Tuska: A Metal Milestone
As we announced in our May newsletter, QSApp hit a major milestone this month by being part of the Tuska Festival, one of the biggest heavy metal festivals in the Nordics.
Together with Funeral Home Mononen, we powered a truly one-of-a-kind experience: an interactive funeral planning at the booth where festival-goers could design their own send-off using a custom-built QSApp, with coffin and urn selections, floral arrangements, final music picks, and more.
Here’s how the festivals went:
Even despite the fear of a summer storm that hit the festival weekend, the show kept going, and wow, what a huge success it was!
From Friday to Sunday, the Mononen booth was packed. Festival-goers lined up nonstop to plan their funeral at the custom photobooth and design their send-off through our QSApp-powered Funeral Planner.
We saw thousands of creative final poses and personal parting messages. The booth turned a heavy topic into something light, humorous, and memorable, filled with smiles and laughter.
This custom-built Funeral Planner QSApp will live on as a brilliant example of how to engage and entertain thousands, all through a no-code, interactive experience. Massive thanks to Tuska Festival and Funeral Home Mononen for choosing QSApp to bring their bold idea to life!

Ps. Iltalehti news also visited the Mononen booth, and the reporter planned their own funeral with QSApp! Check out the video below!
With Pictionary Car Party now live in cars around the world and QSApp making headlines at Tuska Festival, June has been loud, exciting, and unforgettable, just the way we like it.
As mentioned at the top, we’re heading off for some well-earned rest in July, and when we return, we’re more than ready to take even bigger steps with QSApp.
See you in August and have a relaxing and sunny summer! ☀️
