Freeze Tag Launches Garfield GO Augmented Reality Treasure Hunting Game

Posted on Jun 13, 2017

New Game Similar to Pokemon GO but with Garfield

TUSTIN, CA, June 13, 2017 – Freeze Tag (OTC: FRZT), a leading creator of mobile social games, today announced that its new Garfield GO, a free-to-play, augmented reality treasure hunting game, is now available on Apple’s App Store (iOS) and Google’s Play Store (Android) in the United States, Canada and Australia. In the coming months, Garfield GO will be available in many countries around the world.

“Garfield GO is the first augmented reality, location-based game that features the iconic Garfield cat character,” said Craig Holland, CEO of Freeze Tag. “With millions of treasure locations and real money prizes to find, we think players of all ages are going to love playing Garfield GO”

In Garfield GO, players search for hidden treasures in their own neighborhood. With the help of 3D Garfield, players can discover coins in the map view, which reflects their surroundings. Once a coin is identified, players enter “Augmented Reality” mode to search for the exact location of the treasure. Only Garfield knows where the goodies are hidden, but he won’t work for free. First, he has to be fed one of his favorite foods: donut, pizza, cake or lasagna. After you toss some food to Garfield, he will happily locate the treasure chest for you.

“It’s so like Garfield to ask for food before he’ll find the treasure,” said Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield the cat, “He’ll do anything for lasagna.”

Freeze Tag outlined many features packed into Garfield GO that set the game apart from other augmented reality treasure hunting games:
• Millions of locations to find treasure
• Real money prizes can be found from partners like Amazon, Starbucks, Best Buy, Domino’s Pizza and more
• Hundreds of Garfield comic strip pieces to be found
• Over 100 badges to mark your achievements
• Funny hats to change up and customize Garfield’s appearance
• Fun memory-based mini-games you can play to earn free food to feed Garfield
• Hilarious Garfield animations, voice recordings, sound effects and music

WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY OR AR?
Augmented reality is a new technology that allows for you to experience parts of the game in the real world! While playing Garfield GO, you can use your phone’s camera to look around and find Garfield pointing to a chest on the sidewalk or in a park. You could find him standing on your desk, sitting on a friend’s lap or even hanging out next to one of your pets! You’ll never know where Garfield will turn up next!

The Garfield GO! mobile game is the first collaboration between Freeze Tag and strategic partner, Munzee the next generation in global scavenger hunt games. To learn more about Munzee, go to www.munzee.com.
