Mattel and Vrbo ready UNO-themed weekend stays

Mattel and Vrbo are teaming up to launch six limited-time UNO-themed weekend stays across some of Vrbo’s top vacation destinations.

Each of the UNO x Vrbo getaways are bookable for select weekends this summer. Fans can choose from two top-tier ‘Wild Card’ stays, featuring UNO-themed décor, an UNO game night, an UNO x Vrbo Welcome Kit and an in-home dining experience, or four ‘Play It Your Way’ stays in top destinations that feature the UNO x Vrbo Welcome Kit.

In a nod to the UNO Draw 4”card, all stays will be available for just $4 per night on a first-come, first-served basis.

As part of the partnership, UNO and Vrbo created a custom deck, featuring illustrations by Pietari Posti, that will be included in each UNO x Vrbo home. The card illustrations are inspired by travel destinations and vacation pastimes that travellers can experience with Vrbo. The deck also features its own custom rule – the Vacation Rental Swap Rule – which allows players to swap hands with any other player after playing the card.

“UNO isn’t just a game, it’s a spark that brings people together, from fuelling friendly rivalries to creating lasting memories,” said Katie Buford, Vice President and Global Head of Mattel Games.

“With Vrbo, we’re bringing UNO into these homes and turning them into game-night destinations, giving fans a new way to connect, compete, and play together wherever they are.”

Helen Melluish, Vice President of Marketing at Vrbo, added: “Vrbo has always been about friends and families spending real time together on vacation, and partnering with UNO builds on that idea in a simple, playful way. While the game of UNO can be full of surprises, guests can trust that these Vrbo properties will be quality places they won’t want to leave.”
