DOOMSDAY PREPPERS from Nat Geo goes to iOS
San Francisco, California
– November 12, in the year of our Lord 2012 – G5
Entertainment, National Geographic Channel (NGC) and National
Geographic Games announced today a new mobile game based on
Doomsday Preppers, the highest-rated series on NGC featuring
Americans who are preparing for the end of the world. The
free-to-download bunker-building app, with in-app purchases for
premium content and gameplay perks, is available now on the App
Store for the premiere of the second season of Doomsday
Preppers, Tuesday, November 13, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Developed by Can’t Stop Games and distributed internationally by
G5 Entertainment, Doomsday Preppers players will be challenged
to build the best-equipped bunker, constructing “prepping”
floors and assigning fellow preppers to help prepare and store
materials needed to survive any major catastrophe. Players will
also be able to maximize their gameplay experience with in-app
purchases that offer premium items, speed up processes, increase
prepper skills and efficiency, and provide other bonus features
that help them construct the biggest and most prepared bunker as
possible. Special game content can be unlocked by watching new
episodes of the show every week.
Doomsday Preppers is a time- and resource-management game that
follows and expands upon the gameplay mechanics of the most
successful games on the market within the genre. The game
highlights many aspects of the TV show, giving players access to
a variety of ‘bug out’ locations, including a cabin and
underground school bus shelter, as well as over 80 different
production floors, including a pigpen, a self-defense floor, a
field hospital, and even a spa!
“We’re excited to give viewers a new way to interact with our
top-rated series Doomsday Preppers through this fun and engaging
game,” said Brad Dancer, National Geographic Channel’s senior
vice president of audience and business development. “Gamers
will be able to work with other players to build a formidable
shelter and purchase items to help them survive catastrophes
that come their way. Both of these techniques are staples of
‘real-life’ preppers, who take the business of end times as a
literal matter of life and death.”
