Summary<\/h3>\n
\n
The new Alice\u2019s Adventures Special Pack<\/em> contains five new levels, 10 achievements, and new cosmetics.<\/li>\n
The Mad Tea Party is a one-of-a-kind level where you\u2019re tiny \u2014 you\u2019ll return to normal size in the other levels.<\/li>\n
The Alice\u2019s Adventures Special Pack<\/em> for PowerWash Simulator<\/em> comes to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One on July 2, 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
Get ready to take a trip to the topsy-turvy, terribly dirty realm of Wonderland in the Alice\u2019s Adventures Special Pack<\/em><\/strong> for PowerWash Simulator<\/em><\/strong>, launching July 2, 2024, for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The new Special Pack contains five mind-bending new levels, 10 achievements, and psychedelic cosmetics for your character and power washer.<\/p>\n
Together with Sam Jenkins from FuturLab\u2019s design team, who oversaw the design of this level, we\u2019re excited to give you this exclusive first look at the Mad Tea Party job from the Special Pack, which is our first real venture into experimenting with player character scale.<\/p>\n
Start small, wash big<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Mad Tea Party is the fourth job in the Alice\u2019s Adventures mini-campaign. In this level, you\u2019ll power wash an extremely mucky table following the infamous soir\u00e9e. Sounds like a quick job, right? Not quite.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
For the first time, we\u2019ve experimented with the scale of the player character. You\u2019ll be shrunken down to the size of a spoon and tasked with cleaning cakes and crockery twice your height (and then some). Our community have long asked for a level like this, and the Mad Tea Party seemed like the ideal opportunity to bring this idea to life.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had the idea to make use of how characters in Wonderland often change their size by drinking potions to shrink the player character,\u201d explains Jenkins. \u201cTo make a level like the Mad Tea Party a satisfyingly paced experience, we had to be very careful with what scale we wanted everything to be compared to the washer. To do this, we experimented with a few early block outs to find that sweet spot where all the washable objects on the table were the perfect mix of fun and challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n
Does that make sense? No? Good!<\/strong><\/h2>\n
PowerWash players have always loved the way the game doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously, and we embraced this in the Alice\u2019s Adventures Special Pack<\/em>. There\u2019s a real emphasis on the theme of nonsense that \u201cAlice in Wonderland,\u201d and Carrol\u2019s work, is known for. This meant we could bend some rules that we usually stick to in PowerWash Simulator<\/em>. For example, cleaning food!<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\u201cIn the past, we\u2019ve never washed food in PowerWash Simulator<\/em>, as food is just not something anyone would realistically ask you to wash. But in the Alice\u2019s Adventures Special Pack<\/em>, we\u2019re in Wonderland, and Wonderland isn\u2019t meant to make sense!\u201d says Jenkins. \u201cI wanted to have food in this level because players likely won\u2019t be able to wash it in any other PowerWash Simulator<\/em> level. It also feels in character for the Mad Hatter to have the player wash his food, with no thought to if it\u2019d be edible or not after!\u201d<\/p>\n
Creating a Tablescape<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The entire job takes place on the tabletop, so we set about creating themed props and incidentals, from hourglasses to teapots, that create a fun, explorable environment for a miniature power washer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also put a lot of thought into how the player could traverse around and parkour up and on objects like the Mad Hatter\u2019s hat, candelabra, teapot and Cake Stand plates,\u201d adds Jenkins. \u201cSo we made sure they were purposefully placed in a way that allows players to climb on them without equipment and jump between them!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Another unique design philosophy for this pack was the steer towards maximalism that really sets it apart from the base game. Opulent, eccentric and busy prints lie beneath the muck, making for super-satisfying reveal with every pass of the washer.<\/p>\n
We can\u2019t wait to see you polish off a plate so clean, your nanny would be proud in this job. And if you\u2019re hungry for a second serving, there\u2019s always Free Play mode!<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really excited to see players reactions to this pack,\u201d concludes Jenkins. \u201cIt has lots of humour in the story and the dirt, lots of really satisfying and quirky environments to explore and lots of nods to the original Alice story I think people will appreciate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Go down the rabbit hole on July 2, 2024, when the Alice\u2019s Adventures Special Pack<\/em><\/strong> releases on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
