'Little Shop - Road Trip,' fourth edition in hit casual gaming series, now
available on GameHouse.com and RealArcade.com
SEATTLE, July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- From Casual Connect, the
Games Division of digital entertainment services provider RealNetworks(R),
Inc. (Nasdaq: RNWK) today announced the fourth installment of the popular
"Little Shop" series, "Little Shop - Road Trip." To celebrate the new game,
RealArcade.com is offering casual gamers a chance to win one of four gift
cards, to help ease the pain at the pump during their own summer road
trips.
Designed by Real's Seattle-based GameHouse(R) Studios, the "Little
Shop" series of casual games are some of the most popular titles in the
highly competitive genre of hidden object games. Each game in the "Little
Shop" series features vivid scenes, clever clues, and original challenges
to help gamers find cleverly hidden items among these unique little shops.
Matt Turetzky, vice president of content and non-PC platforms for
Real's Games Division, said "From the beginning, the Little Shop series has
been the top-selling franchise across our portals and distribution network
in the hottest segment of the casual games business -- hidden object games.
'Little Shop - Road Trip' is a ground-breaking title for us with innovative
features, stunning animation and challenging new puzzles."
In the first three Little Shop games, players started their own
business in the quaint little town of Huntington, and then successfully
moved it to the Big City. GameHouse now invites you to take a break from
your thriving little shops and set off on the road to fun with "Little Shop
- Road Trip." Venture across the U.S. in search of Americana! Visit
dazzling scenes from Seattle to South Beach on your quest to collect rare
and exclusive new items for your shops back home. Featuring two great game
modes, thousands of cleverly hidden objects, over 100 levels of original
gameplay, 16 cinematic scenes, new bonus mini-games, a new "Magnet" hint
feature, and miles and miles of family fun; there's more to be seen in
"Little Shop - Road Trip" than ever before.
As summer road trips get into full swing, RealArcade.com is helping to
ease players' pain at the gas pump by giving away four gift cards. Between
July 23 and August 12, gamers can enter to win a grand prize of a $200 gift
card or one of three $100 gift cards, with no purchase necessary.
RealArcade.com customers will also be able to enter the sweepstakes via an
