Garfield GO News: Freeze Tag Announces Anytime, Anywhere Gameplay

TUSTIN, CA, August 7, 2017 – Freeze Tag (OTC: FRZT), a leading creator of mobile social games, today announced that a major update to Garfield™ GO, a free-to-play, augmented reality treasure hunting game is available now in the Apple iOS App Store and Google Play App Store.

“We’ve received some wonderful suggestions for improvements to Garfield GO from our players,” said Craig Holland, CEO of Freeze Tag. “And we’ve implemented many of their best ideas in the latest version including the ability to play anytime, anywhere a player chooses.”

According to Freeze Tag management, players requested a way to feed Garfield for free without baking or purchasing a food item, thus increasing the number of chests a player can open within a given time period. To accommodate this request, donuts, one of Garfield’s favorite foods, are now free and in unlimited supply. Players can use donuts to open chests at anytime without having to wait. However, to have a better chance of getting a higher value chest (silver, gold, diamond), players still have to bake pizza, cake, or lasagna in the oven or use coins earned from other chests or trading trinkets to purchase these food items. Puzzle pieces that are required to win real prizes, such as Amazon, Dominoes, and Visa gift cards, are found in all types of chests: wooden, silver, gold and diamond.

Players also asked for a way to open chests without physically traveling to the coins marked on the map. To provide for this feature, Freeze Tag created a “Distance Booster” which is accessible from the map at all times. Players can purchase the Distance Booster to increase their collection radius to one mile for one hour’s time. The Distance Booster continues to work as a player walks around collecting coins or if a player stays stationery. Either way, once activated, coins that fall with the one-mile collection radius will glow and sparkle, signifying to the player that she can tap on them to feed Garfield and retrieve a chest.

In addition, Freeze Tag has also added a number of other features requested by players including the Facebook share functionality when a player wins a prize, special discounted food packs for buying food in quantity, preserving the camera view when returning to the map, and the ability to purchase the missing comic panel to complete a comic strip in the player’s collection.

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!
