Robin Games Launches PLAYHOUSE in an All-New Category of Mobile Gaming

'Lifestyle Gaming   ' genre debuts with PLAYHOUSE, a groundbreaking, creative interior design game that expands the definition of what a game can be

Women-led digital entertainment company Robin Games has created a new category in the mobile game space, aimed at redefining who a gamer is and what a mobile game can be. Dubbed 'Lifestyle Gaming,' the genre blends viral lifestyle content people consume on social media and in their day-to-day lives with gaming mechanics to provide a truly creative, interactive experience.

Inspired by the concept of what it would be like to step into your Pinterest mood board and design without limits, Robin Games' premiere title, PLAYHOUSE, debuts today on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. This first-of-its-kind interior design game allows players to freely move, rotate and place furniture and decor into 3D spaces to create the designs of their dreams. Catering to an audience that has a passion for design and creativity, Robin Games is excited to partner with editorial partners in the home space, including leading interiors magazine House Beautiful and digital home and design publisher Hunker . Through these editorial partnerships, PLAYHOUSE will feature design challenges inspired by articles published by its partners, so players can truly immerse themselves in the content they read and love, and design unique spaces based on real-life interior design tips and projects.

Founder and CEO Jill Wilson , a veteran gaming executive behind some of the highest grossing and most enduring games in the industry like Cookie Jam and Panda Pop, believes that Lifestyle Gaming, beginning with PLAYHOUSE, is uncorking a massive untapped market. "We built PLAYHOUSE on the principle that everyone with a phone and a desire to be creative can be a gamer, so we're catering not only to the existing massive mobile game audience, but also to lifestyle enthusiasts who would otherwise not have tried out a mobile game," said Wilson. "Our definition of 'gaming' and who gets to be a 'gamer' has been too narrow up to this point - we're aiming to expand this and quite literally change the game," she added.

In PLAYHOUSE, you can choose from a variety of interior design challenges daily - some of which are hosted by Robin Games' editorial partners - using furniture and decor from over 100 amazing brand partners, such as Article, Chairish, Arhaus, Society6, Lulu & Georgia , Room & Board, and more. Further fusing the mobile gaming world with real life experiences, all of the pieces - over 6,000 - are shoppable by directing players to the brands' websites for purchase. The game also incorporates social media tastemakers including interior designers, artists, fashion bloggers, bakers and more as 'Hosts' who present limited-time, unique design challenges to players based on their own aesthetics.

With over 50% women on their board, management team and company overall, Robin Games believes that stacking the company with people reflective of the audience they're trying to reach has given them the edge to create a modern and sophisticated, yet relatable product its target demographic will love. "While 63% of mobile gamers are women, most decision-makers in this industry are men," said Wilson. "Sophisticated gaming has not been explored nearly enough, but we are leading that change and creating a new, inspiring space for people to engage with mobile games in a modern way."

GameStop Frenzy Cools, E*Trade Considers Roaring Kitty Ban

GameStop (NYSE:GME) continues to cool following a trading frenzy that drove shares up by 75 percent between the close of trading last Friday (May 31) and the start of trading on Monday (June 3).

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
