Can YOU Party Down and serve ’em up? Based on the critically-acclaimed Starz comedy series, “Party Down” Starz Digital Media and AvatarLabs brings this fun game about keeping your balance while serving demanding patrons after you’ve had a few cocktails.
In PARTY DOWN – WAITER WOBBLE, choose to play as one of your favorite characters; Ron, Casey, Henry or Lydia, and see how long you can continue to stay upright as you attempt to keep the tray of drinks – and yourself – from tipping.

Either way, drink responsibly, have a designated driver and be good to the earth. Only $0.99 in the iTunes store.

We are looking forward to launching this as well as our first wave of iPad apps over the next few months.”
“We are thrilled to be releasing an iPhone game themed around our show Party Down. AvatarLabs was able to capture the essence and tone of the series dead on with this fun game,” said Marc DeBevoise, senior vice president, digital media, business development and strategy for Starz Media and lead executive for Starz Digital Media.
The iTunes “Party Down” storefront contains everything for the “Party Down” fan including the “Party Down: Waiter Wobble” game, a free downloadable podcast that includes the season two debut episode, other “Party Down” video materials, and all the season one episodes.
