The Berlin-based studio Wooga has announced a partnership with Agatha Christie Limited. Wooga's game, June's Journey, will bring Agatha Christie's world to life with an all-new mystery inspired by the author's legacy.
Playtika's Berlin-based studio, Wooga, has announced a in-game mystery experience for their 1920s-set mobile game, June's Journey, in partnership with Agatha Christie Limited (ACL). Inspired by Agatha Christie's work (with sales of over two billion books worldwide), this collaboration launches to commemorate the 50th anniversary of her passing. The new experience brings the spirit of classic Christie mysteries to June's Journey, a game centred on uncovering secrets through observation, deduction, and storytelling. It aims to evoke memories of reading a first detective novel, delivering the same cosy mystery atmosphere in an interactive format designed for modern audiences.
"This collaboration marks a hugely exciting moment for us because it brings together two worlds that share the same DNA," says Dennis Korf, Managing Director at Wooga. "We're incredibly proud to position June alongside Agatha Christie's legendary detective, Poirot. Being able to craft new stories that feature both June and Christie's beloved characters, brought to life in the iconic settings of her novels that so many of us grew up with is a true honour. It's a partnership that celebrates the timeless appeal of mystery across both literature and gaming."
"Starting this April and for a duration of three months, the experience unites two celebrated detectives as Christie's Hercule Poirot teams up with the titular heroine June Parker in a narrative-driven mystery. Players will solve elegant puzzles alongside a most iconic detective duo, advancing their deductive skills as they learn from both June and Poirot while unraveling a new mystery based on Christie’s timeless novels such as Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd." - Wooga
James Prichard, CEO and Chairman of Agatha Christie Limited and Agatha Christie’s Great Grandson, says: "We're delighted to be working with the creative team at Wooga, who have developed an absorbing and entertaining experience that cleverly integrates the genius story-telling and iconic detective created by my great grandmother into the beautiful world of June's Journey."
