GAMECITY Experience

GAMECITY has been conceived to create a social and engaging game-experience.

NickTV.it’s users will dress the part of a superhero and will be called to patrol GAMECITY’s streets and perform continuous missions; moreover, players will be able ti match each others and deeply customize their avatars.

Each GAMECITY’s district is owned by a Nickelodeon’s properties or by an advertising brand that will insert into GAMECITY through the “product placement” marketing tool.

Entering into the various districts, users will access to a large number of games. Playing and performing thair missions, the superheroes will increase their experiece, and so a lot of virtual items, awards and prizes will be unlocked.

Bundled with GAMECITY, there will be a Facebook social-game: every player will have a super-vehicle, deeply customizable through some “equipping cards”. Thanks to thair super-vehicle, superheroes can determine who is the most powerful.
