ASK4 Entertainment took a new approach to unveiling the lineup for ShipRocked’s all-star band The Stowaways for the January 19-25, 2025 cruise onboard Carnival Magic. A few days before the public announcement, ShipRockers were invited to play an old school ‘80s-style computer video game called The Stowaways Scavenger Hunt Game that revealed the identities of the music artists confirmed for the 2025 Stowaways lineup. The game also features each artist’s retro ‘80s voice when their character is discovered.
