tech and parenting blogs, Big Bang Legends has received great media
feedback worldwide immediately after launch. The Big Bang Legends’ official
hashtag #madeofatoms was also trending #1 on Twitter on Friday 24th March. We just might have the new Finnish
hit game at hand.
Peter Vesterbacka, Co-Founder
of Lightneer,
says “We really enjoyed launching the world premiere of Big Bang Legends in
Singapore. The feedback has been simply amazing both from the education sector,
schools and the public. Now we decided that we need to get the Android version
out immediately in East Asia, and Hong Kong felt like the perfect next step to
take.”
Big Bang Legends team is ambitious to bring this gamification of learning to
Asia, choosing Hong Kong as its first stop for its Android game release.
Big Bang Legends app is free to download. For a monthly
subscription of 0.99 USD, users can go ad-free and gain access to
exclusive video learning content tailor-made by expert professors from Oxford
& CERN. Game levels consists of puzzles and mazes, various kinds of
antimatter monsters and collectible rewards. The periodic table becomes
familiar when collecting and upgrading all 118 unique characters with special
superpowers, and by playing, learning the element names and symbols has
never been more fun.
to make the playful and inclusive Finnish education model accessible to
everybody in the world to get great learning results through fun learning.”
“Five years ago we’d joke that one day we’ll teach quantum physics to
five-year-olds. Now we’re seeing five-year-olds playing Big Bang Legends and
having conversations about quarks, protons and atoms. It’s pretty
amazing.”
