Baltimore, Maryland – Social/mobile game developer PlayScreen, LLC has joined forces with AdsYolo to launch their acclaimed iOS word game, Word Carnivale, into the Apple Chinese App Store. In Word Carnivale, players are pitted against their friends in a “best of three” contest to form words within the allotted time. Unlike a conventional word-finding game, Word Carnivale replaces boring static blocks with balloons that pop when words are formed, allowing new balloons to float up. Word Carnivale hit the top of the charts for iPhone Educational and Word Games, soon after its launch in December 2012.
“The value of Word Carnivale’s unique ‘Word Search’ game mechanic is that it brings in new letters and creating new possibilities with every word found,” says William Volk, Chief Creative Officer, PlayScreen. “Players can start with simple words without getting stuck as in traditional ‘Word Search’ games. This broadens the game’s appeal from the traditional ‘vocabulary savvy’ users an ‘English as a Second Language’ demographic as in China.” Volk added “We’ve seen non-native speakers progress in a few weeks from a modest vocabulary to game mastery in a matter of weeks.”
Tony Thielman, the founder of AdsYolo commented, “We think Word Carnivale is a perfect language vehicle to connect with our Chinese audience. Among this emerging middle-class is a strong desire to learn English. It is their way to absorb all that is coming to them from the West. And AdsYolo is all about supporting that effort.”
