Classic Media inks licensing deal with Mastertronic and developer Codemonkeys
Released to coincide with Halloween and Casper's 60th birthday, Spooky Sports Day is available from Apple’s App Store (UK only) priced at £2.99p.
Based on the TV series aimed at kids aged 6-9 years currently airing on Boomerang, the game challenges users to a series of ‘spooky’ sporting events as the Scare School celebrates its annual Spooky Sports Day.
Casper IP owner inked a deal with UK games publisher Mastertronic to bring the title to iPhone, with Codemonkeys handling development duties.
David Tovey, Licensing Manager, Classic Media, said: “iPhone has for a long time been a very attractive proposition for the company and we are thrilled to be bringing Casper to the app store.
"This extends the brands outreach into the digital space and compliments the ongoing brand activity surrounding Casper’s 60th birthday. Casper’s Scare School will be scheduled heavily on Boomerang (UK) during the Halloween season and the brand is currently embarking on a retail tour of all major Westfield shopping centres in the UK.”
