Crash Canyon Gets Online Game

TORONTO: Crash Canyon Adventure is a new online social game based on the hit TELETOON-commissioned series, with Breakthrough Entertainment partnering with Big Blue Bubble for the development of the interactive add-on.

The game is targeted for youth and young adults ages 13 to 35. Crash Canyon Adventure is set to roll out in September in French and English with a debut on the TELETOON at Night/La Nuit websites. In the game, players create a character and join the residents of Crash Canyon. They are sent on quests, play mini-games, craft an escape vehicle and build homes, while buying, collecting and trading an array of items. The players can also interact and socialize with the other new Crash residents and characters from the series.

Breakthrough Entertainment’s digital media division secured funding support for the game from the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund, the Ontario Media Development Corporation (Interactive Digital Media Fund) and the Shaw Rocket Fund’s Digital Media Stream.

Dorothy Vreeker, the director of digital media at Breakthrough Entertainment, commented: “We are delighted to be producing this game for TELETOON. The show’s gregarious characters and wildly hilarious story lines lend well for an online social game: Crash Canyon Adventure perfectly captures the humor of the television series.”
