Fans of the series can play as both Carly and Sam, and interact with the cast, as they share special skills that tie into each character’s attributes from the show. Players set the menu, prepare dishes and serve plates to customers quickly, while even more starving customers flood each location. They will dish out more than 20 infamous iCarly dishes like Doughnuts on a Stick, Fudge Balls, and Spaghetti Tacos to crazy patrons in fan-favorite locations that include Webicon, Ridgeway Junior High, the Groovy Smoothie and more. The addicting game features several finicky types of hungry customers including students, senior citizens and more, each with their own likes, dislikes, and unique traits. iCarly: Groovy Foodie! is under development by WayForward Technologies, Inc.

Girls will embrace the magic within and discover their inner fairy in Winx Club™: Magical Fairy Party , through the enchanting story and exciting mini-games filled with fairies, fashion, friendship (and pets) that fans love. Fans can star in the game as their own fairy, interact with their favorite show characters and enroll in the enchanting Alfea School. They will form new friendships, perform spells and plan unforgettable events that include a wondrous ball! The game is based on a brand new Winx Club modern fantasy adventure television series that will take the fairies of Alfea School on magical experiences and showcase a new art style with CGI episodes releasing this fall. Winx Club™: Magical Fairy Party is based on the license created by RAINBOW SRL and is under development by 1st Playable Productions.
