Double Fine Happy Action Theater (sometimes referred to as Happy Action Theater) is a casual video game developed by Double Fine Productions and distributed by Microsoft Game Studios. The title is a Kinect motion-sensing based title for the Xbox 360 and was released via the Xbox Live Arcade service in North America on February 1 2012. Happy Action Theater is based on an idea that Double Fine's founder Tim Schafer had on devising a game that Lily his two-year-old daughter (at the time) could play with. To this the open-ended game is a collection of eighteen different modes that allow multiple players to interact in unique ways through the Kinect cameras and motion-sensing in an augmented reality shown on the console's display such as playing in a giant virtual ball pit or walking through simulated lava.
