MUNICH: Your Family Entertainment (YFE) has brought on digital publisher Auryn Inc. to create games based on select properties for the iPad and other tablet devices.

Shadow of the Elves, Sherm and Ric the Raven are among the titles set to receive apps first. On the planner to follow are Adventurers Masters of Time, Altair, Gloria’s House, Mission Odyssey, Roboroach and Da Boom Crew.

"This is a really exciting partnership for us," said Umesh Shukla, the founder and CEO of Auryn. "YFE has more than 3,500 half-hour titles and we can’t wait to bring the gaming element in them to life in this new medium. We are passionate about the future of storytelling."

"Auryn has a team of interactive storytellers who create dynamic experiences through their patented Aurynization process. By working together, we can give our audiences an immediate connection with each property through deeper interactive experiences."
