OUAT Entertainment, in co-publication with Marathon Media will launch Totally Spies ‘Fashion Agents’, the first RPG (Role Playing Game) adapted from a television series to be launched on Facebook. The game is aimed at all fans of the series as well as everyone who wants to both save the world and share a flat with their friends!

Why is Totally Spies the first TV series to be adapted on Facebook?

Few television series are so conducive to adaptation on a social networking site. Indeed Totally Spies (TS) reveals all the qualities necessary to make an excellent social network game:
  • The all-important social dimension: TS is above all a story of the friendship of three young women - Sam, Alex and Clover - and their life together in the same flat in Mali U.
  • A huge audience: TS has been beamed out to TVs in 120 countries around the world for 10 years now! Its fan base spans from 8 to 88 year-olds, girls and boys alike: what better foundation could there be for a trans-generational and trans-cultural game!
  • The strong epic dimension: TS has now run to 5 seasons, i.e. 26x26’ minutes of adventures and WOOHP spy missions! This is a goldmine on which to build a game of great depth, packed with surprises galore!
  • A world that is positive, optimistic and fun: these three qualities are key ingredients for a successful broad-based social network game.

So what is the ‘Totally Spies! Fashion Agents’ (TS! FA) game all about?

TS!FA is a Role Playing Game (RPG) where the player creates her or his own character (girl or boy). The character is a student at Mali-U, the famous Beverly Hills University where our friends Sam, Alex and Clover are students. The aim of the game is to save the world and share a flat with your friends!

Players are recruited by WOOHP, and alternate between missions to save the world and mini-games based on student life enabling them to level up, and pick up new costumes and objects to decorate their apartment. The aim of the game is to attain the ‘Fashion Agents’ level, a particularly attractive level from the point of view of personal wardrobes and home furnishings!

The great originality of ‘TS! FA’ in relation to other RPGs on FB is that it offers players the chance to share their flat with friends – who become their flatmates - and to carry out missions in groups. This cooperative dimension, where strength comes from numbers, enables players to progress much more quickly through the game.

‘TS! FA’ is a game of infinite dimensions. A Beta version in French and English will be published online 20 April 2010 and new missions and functions will be added every week.

The ‘TS! FA’ business model is based on the sale of special objects or items through a system of micro-transactions. These special objects will enable players to progress quicker through the game and to stand out from others. The purchase of objects is not mandatory to progress in ‘TS! FA’.
