New Content for Garfield GO Available Now!
Tustin, CA - June 29, 2017 - InvestorsHub NewsWire - Freeze
Tag (OTC: FRZT),
a leading creator of mobile social games, today announced that an
update is now available for Garfield GO, a free-to-play, augmented
reality treasure hunting game. The update is available in the
Google Play app store in the United States, Canada, and Australia,
and is pending approval in the iOS App Store.
“We’re grateful for the many players who have provided terrific
feedback on Garfield GO,” said Craig Holland, CEO of Freeze Tag.
“Based on user input, we fixed bugs and modified gameplay elements,
such as the food throwing mechanic, in this new update. We’ve also
added some new content.”
Garfield hates Mondays, but he loves America! To celebrate the
birth of the United States of America, a new “stars and stripes”
patriotic hat is waiting to be found in treasure chests or may be
purchased from the Garfield GO hat store.
The new version of Garfield GO also addresses some of the most
common feedback from players in order to provide a better game
experience. A new target has been added so that players can better
position Garfield’s food bowl before tossing him his favorite
comfort food. We’ve also made it easier for players whose devices
do not support AR technology to disable AR mode.
Freeze Tag reported that early performance statistics of the
Garfield GO game are encouraging. Engagement is high, with some
players spending several hours per week hunting for treasures.
Retention is also very strong. Thousands of players are
coming back to play on Saturday and Sunday after playing
occasionally during the week. Many players have made in-app
purchases. The most popular in-app purchase is the $.99 pack
of coins, but the highest contributor to overall revenue is the
$19.99 coin pack. Many players have also chosen to purchase the
hats available for sale.
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
