“Incrowd为用户们的现实交往提供了一种新的方式,”Booyah的执行总裁Keith Lee说,“通过这种方式我们正在逐步缩小网络社交和现实的差距。”

在InCrowd中,玩家可以创造自己的头像,进行各种社交活动,结交新朋友. 此外,当别人向你发送如拍屁股、送秋波等游戏动作,多与他人交往的话就能获得更多的游戏得分和奖励,这些得分和奖励可以用来升级自己的虚拟形象。

从另外一款倍受欢迎的定位手机应用程序MyTown中,Booyah可以预见InCrowd将来的成功。在这My Town中,玩家登录地理位置或浏览现实商品就可以获得奖励。目前该游戏拥有320万名活跃用户。

Booyah公司的InCrowd目前仅在iPhone和iPod touch的App Store专门店或itunes出售。

BOOYAH’S INCROWD HELPS FIND MR. AND MRS. POPULAR WITH NEW APP ON THE APP STORE

Mobile Social App for iPhone and iPod touch Presents a Playful Way to Make New Friends in Real-World Places

Booyah, a leading social web and mobile entertainment company, has officially launched InCrowd, a social game that lets users find new friends in real-world locations, on the App Store. As a leading partner for the newly announced Facebook Places application programming interface (API), InCrowd combines mobile GPS functionality and Facebook profiles to allow players to meet and interact with new people at real-world check-in locations. InCrowd is now available for iPhone and iPod touch.

“InCrowd gives players a completely new way to socialize real time at the places they love,” said Keith Lee, CEO, Booyah. “We’re compressing the barriers between digital social networks and the real world in a way that lets people find their friends or make new ones in a completely unique manner.”

In InCrowd, players create their own customizable avatar, socialize, meet new friends, and track popularity when they check-in to their favorite real-life places using their iPhone or iPod touch.

InCrowd players gain popularity when others respond using a series of in-game actions, such as booting them in the rear, sending them a wink, or posting about a venue. The more a player socializes with others, the more in-game points are rewarded to them for use in upgrading and personalizing their virtual avatar.

Booyah has seen similar success with the popular location-based mobile app MyTown, which enables players to unlock rewards by checking in to their physical location, as well as scanning real-world products to unlock in-game rewards. Currently, more than 3.2 million active players have taken up residence in MyTown.

Booyah’s InCrowd is now available exclusively on the App Store for iPhone and iPod touch or at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/incrowd/id386647048. (source:business wire)
