New Official Clue Board Game

Marmalade Game Studio and Hasbro Inc. are proud to announce the launch of Clue – available now on PC, iOS and Android!

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 23, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Open the door to Tudor Mansion and enter a world of crime, intrigue, suspicion… and secrets. Clue has arrived on Steam, iOS and Android, bringing Hasbro’s recently reimagined Clue board game to life in fully animated 3D.

Marmalade Game Studio, the video board game experts behind the popular 2016 release, Clue: Classic Edition, have matched Hasbro’s latest board game adaptation which includes refreshed and diversified versions of the infamous cast, highly stylized game pieces and the glamorous Tudor Mansion crime scene.

This new generation of Clue welcomes a new era of character depth and fully fleshed-out backstories. Detectives will unlock Case Files as they play, uncovering motives, evidence and more. This added dimension brings significance to the conclusion of every game as detectives find out what could have motivated every suspect to murder.

Marmalade’s additional Ultimate Detective game format allows detectives to examine all suspects at the same time, relying on their skills of deduction and intuition to get to the truth. Just like in a real inquiry, suspects may try to throw their interrogator off the scent, and it’s down to every detective to keep their investigation on track!

Cristina Mereuta, co-CEO of Marmalade Game Studio, said:

Clue is the most iconic murder mystery in the world and we are so excited to partner with Hasbro to bring the reimagined Clue to life like never before. Our aim is to take detectives beyond the board game and give them a new and exciting experience, while staying true to the brand. We have done this by introducing a new game format, called Ultimate Detective, that gets to the heart of what our players love: interrogation and strategy. We know that crime enthusiasts everywhere will be inspired and intrigued by all that Clue has to offer, and we can’t wait for them to get to work unravelling mysteries!

Eugene Evans, Senior Vice President, Digital Strategy and Licensing, at Hasbro, said:

The new CLUE video game demonstrates our continuing commitment to bringing our brands, stories, and experiences beyond the board to digital platforms. Earlier this year, Hasbro Gaming launched the next chapter of CLUE with a refresh to the iconic board game, reintroducing fans to the classic gameplay with new, rich takes on the storyline and an intriguing diverse cast. With the release of CLUE for PC and mobile from Marmalade Game Studio, we are thrilled that fans can now play this revamped CLUE experience digitally with friends and family near and far.

As the creators of premium board game titles on iOS, Android, console and PC, including Monopoly, The Game of Life, The Game of Life 2, Battleship and more, the Marmalade Game Studio experience never disappoints. Detectives will enter the Crime Scene with zero interruptions from adverts or pay-walls. The mystery is different every time, so the dedicated investigator will enjoy unravelling an almost-limitless supply of murder inquiries. And for those who wish to find out what happens next, there is the Black Adder Resort, an optional Case File. Detectives will travel to a luxury island resort, where they will find themselves in the next chapter of the story.

Detectives will find Clue now on Steam, iOS and Android. They can also follow Marmalade Game Studio on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to stay up-to-date with forthcoming content!

Several world-famous acts will be stopping by Denmark’s capital city next year.

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, August 22, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Denmark, one of the world’s happiest cities, has another reason to celebrate. Several big-name musical acts have booked dates to perform in the city next year, and tickets will be in high demand. And that’s on top of an impressive lineup of Madonna, Diana Ross, 50 Cent, and New Order, still due to perform in late 2023.

The biggest concerts in Copenhagen in 2024 (as of now):
Depeche Mode – Royal Arena, February 10, 2024
Niall Horan – Royal Arena, March 12, 2024
John Mayer – Royal Arena, March 16, 2024
Jonas Brothers – Royal Arena, May 20, 2024
Metallica – Parken, June 14-16, 2024

Unfortunately, two of Europe’s most popular concert tours probably won’t be coming to Copenhagen. The city isn’t scheduled for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour or Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour. Ryan Forney of EuropeTripDeals.com notes: “It’s possible Taylor Swift could add more dates, including Copenhagen…there are some gaps in her European calendar. But she’s performed a ton of shows, and I think they’ll use those gap days for rest. As for Coldplay, they likely won’t stop in Copenhagen as they just performed there in 2023.”

Is the 2024 concert schedule complete? “Most likely not,” says Forney. “More acts usually announce tours over the winter. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few more big-name performances announced for Copenhagen by spring or summer next year.” Stay tuned.

36% of Japan’s 14 million youth 18 years and under are gamers

SILICON VALLEY, CA, USA, August 21, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Niko Partners, the world’s leading market research firm covering video games and esports in Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, today announced the results of its latest findings on Japan’s youth gamers. Insights from the research show that 46% of Japanese gamers aged 16-18 and 67% of parents of Japanese youth aged 6-18 believe that it is parents who should be in charge of supervising children’s gaming time, not government. As gaming is considered a national pastime in the country, where gaming has a rich history, most Japanese parents in our survey have a favorable view towards gaming.

“Our report looks closely at the gaming behavior of Japan’s youth and the parental opinions about playing all types of video games,” said Lisa Hanson, CEO and founder of Niko Partners. “We found that foreign game titles, esports, and game livestreaming are much more popular among Japan youth than among older gamers, who historically have gravitated to domestic IP. There is an opportunity for non-Japanese gaming companies to expand and increase their presence in Japan, as the country’s youth gamers is a potential market on its own.”

Key takeaways from this report include:
• Most youth gamers play on console (72%) followed by mobile (64%) and then PC (15%). Parents favor consoles due to increased visibility and control over gaming content compared to other platforms.

• Youth gamers play an average of 8 hours per week on mobile, compared to 6.5 hours on PC and console.

• Japanese youth are more receptive than adult gamers to foreign game titles, esports, game livestreaming, and VTubers. Nearly 46% of Japanese youth are drawn into esports and competitive games, compared to 12% of overall Japanese gamers.

• Premium games still play a large role in Japan, primarily due to the popularity of consoles, and are the most popular individual purchase made by youth gamers.

• Parents of Japanese youth are generally accepting of video games as a means of entertainment and are more likely to be gamers themselves.

• The majority of both parents and youth in general believe that control over children’s game time should be managed by each family, rather than by the government or game companies, with 70% of parents and 46% of youth agreeing with this.

Niko Partners surveyed more than 300 parents of youth gamers aged 6-18 and more than 90 gamers aged 16-18 for this report. We also conducted interviews with parents, teachers, and industry experts while complementing our research and analysis with publicly disclosed data of related institutions and insights from other Niko’s reports and services. The Japan Youth Gamers Report offers recommendations for companies looking to tap into the Japan youth gamers market.

The House That Ruth Built by Kelly Bennett, illustrated by Susanna Covelli, pub. by Familius

Interior scene from The House That Ruth Built by Kelly Bennett “Babe waits . . . “

The House That Ruth Built by Kelly Bennett: Historical facts included are diverse, inclusive, and accurate with information about the segregated leagues of the time included in the sidebar facts.

Children’s Book Council calls Kelly Bennett’s baseball picture book recreating Babe Ruth’s famous home run that opened Yankee Stadium a winner

WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — It was author Kelly Bennett’s love of baseball—sparked by her semi-pro catcher grandfather’s stories—that led her on a yearslong mission to create The House That Ruth Built a picture book about the opening day game in the original Yankee Stadium, the NY Yankees first official home ballpark, the world’s biggest, tallest, grandest stadium of the time.

On April 18, 1923, Yankee Stadium, hosted its first ever baseball game: NY Yankees against the Boston Red Sox. With The House That Ruth Built, award-winning author Kelly Bennett recreates the excitement of that opening day game—the stadium, the fans, the food, the pigeons…Watch out!, players taking the field, the Umpire’s “Play ball!”—and the big question. Could the Babe come through? Prior to the game, legendary slugger Babe Ruth—the Great Bambino, King of Swing, the Big Bam—said, “I’d give a year of my life if I could hit a home run on opening day of this great new park.” Could the Babe come through?

Vivid, vibrant true-to-event illustrations reminiscent of Norman Rockwell, created by Susanna Covelli, go hand-in-hand with the lyrical text to recreate the sights and feel of that first baseball game that very first fateful game that christened The House That Ruth Built. Bennett collaborated with several baseball organizations to get the details of this book just right. Historical facts included are diverse, inclusive, and accurate.

Bennett dedicated the book to her grandfather, Joe Silva, a semi-pro catcher, who played baseball with Babe Ruth on Barnstorming trips to California. “We’re a baseball family,” Bennett said. “I used to keep stats for my kids’ baseball and softball teams. I think it’s really, for me, an underrated sport to a lot of people. With baseball you never know what’s going to happen. In basketball, you know everyone is going for the basket. In football, you know they’re going for the end zone. In baseball, you have no idea where the ball is going, yet everyone’s brains is going 100 miles per hour.”

Over 85 seasons, Yankee Stadium hosted 6,581 NY Yankees regular season games, 161 postseason games—more than any other stadium in baseball history—and 33 World Series. The Yanks weren’t the only Big-League team to call Yankee Stadium “home” either. On July 5, 1930, the Stadium hosted its first baseball game between Negro League teams and over the next 18 years, until 1948, served as home field for teams fielding future Hall of Famers such as Satchel Paige, “Pop” Lloyd, Cool Papa Bell, Josh Gibson, and Jackie Robinson.

Baseball Aficionados of all ages —Yankees fans or not—will linger over the sidebars of baseball history, trivia, and vintage photographs. The House That Ruth Built (published by Familius) is available everywhere books are sold.

The World’s Loudest Clarinet Player™ I wouldn’t say I’m the GREATEST clarinet player in the world, but let’s just say I’m up there. I have a particular interest in collecting polka music and beautiful women. In my early 70’s I found a passion for collecting clarinets. I am a musician and a beginner at clarinet repair, a field where I feel I have a God-given talent and gift.
