Endemol Shine Group & 9th Impact Align for Big Brother Game

Endemol Shine Group has teamed up with the game development studio 9th Impact for the first globally interactive Big Brother mobile game.

In Big Brother: The Game, players can become virtual housemates and experience life as a contestant on the reality show. They must make strategic choices while applying social, psychological and interpersonal skills in order to remain in the house and ultimately win a prize. Big Brother: The Game is set to launch globally later this year and will be available for Apple and Android devices.

Big Brother: The Game has two modes—Housemate and Spectator. It is free to download and the Spectator mode is free with optional purchases. To become a Housemate, the player must use a Token to enter the House, which is an in-app purchase.

Anil Mistry, director of gaming and e-commerce at Endemol Shine Group, said: “This project was an ambitious undertaking and we needed a partner who had the vision, the capability and the creativity to deliver something truly unique that would both appeal to strategic gamers and delight Big Brother fans.”

Dr. Finn Krewer, head of development at 9th Impact, added: “Our approach to designing this game was to think of a person’s mobile device as their portal into a massive online Big Brother season. The player will face competitions, chores, nominations, evictions and have to navigate all the same complex social relationships and intrigue that make the TV show so compelling.”
