Welcome to the 2014 edition of Boomzap's Very Important Players newsletter. In this issue, we'll share news on upcoming events and releases, as well as opportunities for all you loyal 'zappers to meet and interact with the team. Let's peek through a memory mirror too as we review what happened (and what you may have missed) in 2013.

Enjoy reading!
Recap: Game Releases in 2013
The goblins have been busy the past year, releasing 12 games for the PC, Mac and mobile platforms. Do you remember them all?

 
It was also our first time to venture in the world of free-to-play (F2P) with the launch of Antique Road Trip: American Dreamin’ and Awakening Kingdoms.
Endless Fun in Free Hidden Object Games
The Antique Road Trip continues in an online antique adventure, Antique Road Trip: American Dreamin’. You are an antiques expert placed in charge of an antique shop in Beechwood Cove, a small town filled with shopkeepers and craftsmen. Aside from hidden object scenes and mini-games, this free-to-play game features real-time holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas and allows you to interact and trade with other players around the world.

Autumn came then Winter covered the town in beautiful white snow. We are excited to bring you more events and new content updates! Download it for free now so you can get ready for our Valentine's Day event in February!
 
 
Princess Sophia became the queen of Skyward Castle after she lifted the curse cast by Dreadmyre. Unfortunately, her journey doesn't end as she continues her adventure to rescue her beloved parents. What happens to the kingdom after the war left it in ruins?
 
In Awakening Kingdoms, you are tasked by Queen Sophia to bring the kingdom back to its former glory. Finally, you'll get to meet all the characters that Sophia only met in passing and help them with their quests. Explore the magical world of Awakening in an endless game that features puzzles, mini-games and hidden object scenes.

Boomzap goes to Manila!
We are a virtual studio located in more than 20 different cities around the world, but more than half of the team are Filipinos! If you’re in the Philippines, we’d like to challenge you to create a fantasy journey scene using epic Philippine landmarks and get a chance to win cash prizes from Boomzap!


You can also meet us at the Global Game Jam to be held on January 24 to 26, 2014 at Globe Labs, Makati, Philippines. Boomzap developers will be there, including one of the co-founders, so this is your best chance to chat with us and show us what you’ve got.


If you’re not in the Philippines, don’t worry. You can also visit us in Singapore! One of our lead game designers, Ran Wong, will be a keynote creative speaker in Singapore Institute of Landscape Architects (SILA)’s World Class Design Froum - Fantasy and Landscapes on March 13, 2014.
