Start the Party! is a 2010 augmented reality party game developed by Supermassive Games for the PlayStation 3, marking the studio's debut title. Published by Sony Computer Entertainment as a launch title for the PlayStation Move, it was bundled with the motion controller in several Asian markets. The game uses the PlayStation Eye camera alongside the Move controllers to place players into augmented reality environments on screen. Gameplay consists of a collection of mini-games built around this AR framework, with the physical movements of players and their controllers integrated directly into the on-screen action. The title was first revealed at the 2010 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco before releasing in Europe on September 16, 2010, and in North America the following day. It is designed for group play, making use of the Move hardware to support its party-oriented format.
