"The ongoing global growth and success of the game has amazed
us," said Michael Acton Smith, CEO of Mind Candy. "Moshi Monsters has been
adding over 150k new players a day and is now one of the fastest growing
children's games in the world."
To celebrate the landmark announcement, Mind Candy will be
staging a "15 Million Monster Party" at the London Aquarium. Hundreds of the
game's most loyal community members will be attending this private glittering
"green carpet" Moshi Monsters spectacle to celebrate this incredible
achievement.
Moshi Monsters offers a unique combination of adoptable
virtual pets, social gameplay and fun educational puzzles that appeal to both
children and parents. Within the game, players choose from one of six
monsters to customise and nurture. Once players customise their pet, they
then navigate the magical world by solving puzzles that test a variety of
skills including basic math, spatial awareness, logic and vocabulary. As
players solve puzzles, their pet monsters earn Rox, the in-game currency that
can be used to purchase accessories to customise their virtual homes.
Moshi Monsters is free-to-play and provides wholesome fun for parents and
children of all ages. To create a free Moshi Monster and enter a world of fun
