Kicking off the first day of autumn and the beginning of apple picking season, King, creator of the Candy Crush franchise, with the help of producer and entrepreneur Ashley Tisdale have opened a one-of a kind multi-sensory urban orchard experience in New York’s Madison Square Park.
The orchard celebrates the launch of Farm Heroes Super Saga, the latest instalment in the hugely popular Farm Heroes franchise. New Yorkers can fully immerse themselves in the ‘bigger is better’ world of the game as they step inside this super-sized apple-shaped Super Cropsie dome, which brings the new gameplay elements and characters to life through a multi-sensory, interactive experience.
The Interactive Urban Orchard, which was designed by King to look like an apple Super Cropsie from the game, stands at 17 feet and 10 inches’ tall, with a diameter of 41 feet and four inches’ wide. The dome is a huge 18,822 cubic feet in total and can fit over a quarter of a million apples inside of it!
Available to download for free from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and Facebook, Farm Heroes Super Saga will offer players new dimensions of gameplay in order to beat Rancid the Raccoon and win the Country Show. Players can look forward to an exciting new feature, the ‘Super Cropsie’, which is made when four ‘Cropsies’ are matched in a square. When in their ‘super’ state the ‘Cropsies’ are worth more points and regardless of the matches made after this, the ‘Super Cropsies’ never lose their value, allowing players to reach their goal faster.
