Freeze Tag Announces Soft Launch of Garfield GO! Game In Australia
TUSTIN, CA · 25 April 2017
New Game Similar to Pokemon GO but with Garfield
TUSTIN, CA, April 25, 2017 – Freeze Tag (OTC: FRZT), a leading creator of mobile social games, today announced that its new Garfield GO! augmented reality treasure hunt game is now available on Apple’s App Store (iOS) and Google’s Play Store (Android) in Australia.
“Garfield GO! is the first augmented reality, location-based game that features the beloved Garfield cat character,” said Craig Holland, CEO of Freeze Tag. “It’s like Pokemon GO, but with Garfield, the lasagna-loving cat. We are launching the game in Australia to gather player feedback and refine the experience before we launch in the USA and other parts of the world.”
Freeze Tag brings the lasagna-loving feline Garfield to the fun and engaging world of augmented reality gaming, similar to Pokemon GO. In Garfield GO!, the player must help Garfield “collect” the comic strip pieces that got scattered about the world when Odie tore up the comic books. Along the way, players pick up treasures and trinkets from the Garfield universe such as a Party Hat, Yarn Ball and Garfield’s favorite teddy bear, Pooky. In order to retrieve the treasures, Garfield insists that he be fed first. Garfield loves to eat. The player then can either bake or purchase one of Garfield’s four favorite foods: donut, pizza, cake or lasagna. The game also features mini-games, player statistics and achievements, in addition to a comic strip collection that contains hundreds of comic panels from the Garfield comic strip.
Garfield GO! represents the first collaboration between Freeze Tag and strategic partner, Munzee (www.munzee.com). To help build out the available geographic play areas for Garfield GO!, many Munzee locations have been incorporated into the game. Freeze Tag has also added thousands of additional locations to make it easy to play Garfield GO! in most areas. To learn more about Garfield GO! please visit the game’s website at www.garfieldgo.com.
