TORONTO and SANTA MONICA, Calif. – September 13, 2011 – Fans of the beloved 1987 film Dirty Dancing will have the time of their lives as LIONSGATE® (NYSE: LGF) and Social Game Universe release the first-ever Facebook game based on the iconic movie. Players can visithttp://apps.facebook.com/dirtydancinggame to relive those magical times in the Catskills as caretakers and managers of Kellerman’s Resort.
“For the past 24 years, Dirty Dancing has been a top iconic brand, and now with almost 11 million Facebook fans, it is a top ten social media entertainment property,” said Curt Marvis, Lionsgate’s President of Digital Media. “Our mainly female audience is highly engaged with this property, and will drive it to become one of the most successful social media games.”
In the Dirty Dancing Facebook game, developed by Toronto-based Social Game Universe, players manage the legendary Kellerman’s Resort and are tasked with building it into a thriving and successful getaway for its guests. To do this, users drop cupid-style grenades called “Romance Waves,” causing resort guests to fall in love and extend their stay. As fans progress through the game, they can join the cast to build the resort, provide guests with fun activities and dances, and enjoy music from the classic Dirty Dancingsoundtrack.
“We set out to create a game that not only captures the essence and aesthetic of the Dirty Dancing film, but also breaks new ground in social gaming,” said Nathon Gunn, CEO of Social Game Universe. “This is the first social game in which spreading love and romance is the main goal – and it’s a lot more fun to do that with the help of your Facebook friends.”
Of course, the main attraction at Kellerman’s is the dance shows. Featuring a set of players’ Facebook friends alongside characters from the movie, each show must be properly rehearsed before it is ready to be performed. The more dance shows a player hosts, the more romance waves they generate, all of which contributes to returning Kellerman’s to its former glory. If they really want to put on a show for the ages, players must discover secret dance style combinations that give them bonuses. To further immerse fans in the Dirty Dancing world, the game also allows players to use unforgettable songs from the movie soundtrack to help guests fall in love.
