It just so happens that our most loved children’s character is also venturing out of his cave and onto our screens once again with the launch of The Gruffalo: Games mobile app
With this super cool app, children will be able to test The Gruffalo’s quick-thinking and super smart moves in a series of simple but classic games, helping complement the key skills they’ll learn at pre- and primary school. The Gruffalo: Games mobile app has been designed by Oscar-nominated entertainment company, Magic Light Pictures, and is based on the much-loved picture book, The Gruffalo, written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. It’s the follow-up to the popular Room on the Broom app which was launched by Magic Light Pictures in October 2013The games are based on traditional and well-known children’s games that everyone will be familiar with, including snap, three-in-a-row (otherwise known as noughts and crosses), matching and jigsaws – but each with a monstrous twist! Even better, in two of the games, 3 In A Row and Snap, children are able to play against The Gruffalo himself, who, despite his terrible tusks and terrible claws, is surprisingly good at card games. Children will find plenty of challenge trying to beat him!
The beautifully designed and illustrated app is aimed at 3-7 year olds and features six games set to music from the films. The Gruffalo: Games mobile app captures the essence of the stories by featuring both The Gruffalo and other popular characters from the book, including Mouse, Owl, Fox and Snake.
It seemed a great time to launch the The Gruffalo: Games mobile app this year as it coincided with The Gruffalo’s 15th anniversary celebrations… The games are fun, challenging and encourage imagination and we’re thrilled that The Gruffalo’s many fans will be able to enjoy them as much as we do! Martin Pope, co-founder of Magic Light Pictures
Dexter’s been loving this app even if at age 2, he’s not entirely sure what he’s doing! We’ve read The Gruffalo to him since he was a baby and it’s a frequent bedtime story request. The colours are so bright and vivid, they perfectly complement the imagery within the book. For Dexter it’s like entering its pages and he gets so excited whenever the Gruffalo’s paws appear.
The Gruffalo: Games mobile iOS app is available to download from the App Store now and is priced at just £2.99.
