What’s Smarter than a Bookworm and Benefits Children’s Literacy?
Bookopotamus, Findaway World's New Audiobook Trivia App.
Findaway World, an audiobook
technology provider, has announced the launch of Bookopotamus, an
audiobook trivia app, designed to entertain book lovers while raising
money for First Book, a nonprofit organization determined to see that
all children have access to an ongoing supply of new books.
In an effort to increase the charitable impact of the app, Bookopotamus,
which initially launched to Findaway World partners and customers
during the holiday season, is now available to everyone via the Apple
App Store and through Google Play.
“The most important thing we can do as a company is to build products
that change lives. Bookopotamus exposes more users to the value of
audiobooks while ensuring that children in need will get to experience
them too,” comments Dean Skinner, Chief Creative and Marketing Officer
at Findaway World
In each round of Bookopotamus, the player is presented with an audible
audiobook quote and is asked to guess, against the clock, which book the
quote is from. The earlier the answer is provided, the higher the score
for the game. As they play, users evolve from a curious little Bookworm
into a Bookopotamus with an insatiable appetite for books.
Book selections range from bestsellers to the classics and context clues
within the quotes can guide even those with less book exposure to find
the right answer. As an entertaining bonus, all sound effects in the
game were verbally made by members of the Findaway World team.
The more people who download the app and play, the larger the donation
(up to $10,000 in Playaways) Findaway World is making to First Book.
Donations will continue to accumulate through March 2014.
