House of UNO is an elevated treetop hideaway in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, with sweeping rainforest views. The getaway is themed around family-favourite UNO, with Draw 4 pillows, UNO-themed throws and even swanky UNO themed jammies.

Each morning, you can sip your coffee from a custom UNO mosaic mug, while protecting the coffee table with nostalgic Reverse Card themed coasters. And for a limited time, the getaway can be yours for just $10 per night: the same price as a deck of UNO.

For those who prefer words to wild cards, there’s also the Scrabble Shack or the Pictionary Palace in the New South Wales Blue Mountains towns of Medlow Bath and Katoomba.

Designed as an immersive way to detox from the digital world and the stresses of post-pandemic 2020 life, the 3-4 bedroom properties feature Scrabble artworks and some fairly intimidating oversized sand timers.

“This year, all Australians have experienced a level of heightened uncertainty and stress due to the impact of COVID-19,” said Psychotherapist Georgina Manning. “Non-digital gameplay is a powerful tool to switch off,
unwind and connect with family and friends.”

Bookings are now open at Booking.com for stays of up to two nights from Friday October 23rd for House of UNO, Pictionary Palace and Scrabble Shack.
