Online & Mobile Game Developer Miniclip Partners with AG Properties for New Strawberry Shortcake™ Game
Neuchâtel, Switzerland (PRWEB UK) 20 August 2014 -- Miniclip, a leading digital games company, and AG Properties (AGP), the intellectual property and outbound licensing division of American Greetings Corporation, have partnered to co-create a mobile game based on the hugely popular Strawberry Shortcake™ brand. Miniclip is set to release the game, titled Berry Rush™, later this summer.
Strawberry Shortcake debuted in 1980 as a line of social expression products, as well as toys, videos, games, crafts and books. Today, the little girl with the big personality is winning the hearts of a third generation of consumers on multiple platforms.

“Strawberry Shortcake has delivered big results in the digital space,” said Derek Roberto, VP of New Media at AGP, “Berry Rush will be the brand’s first foray into the action game genre and we are thrilled to be working with Miniclip, an industry-leading game developer.”
Miniclip, which has over 70 million monthly players across mobile, social and online platforms, is to release Berry Rush simultaneously on iOS and Android devices this summer.
