New Facebook Game Inspired by Disney’s Animal Kingdom

The first-ever social game inspired by Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park is coming to Facebook.

The social game Disney Animal Kingdom Explorers includes “The Tree of Life,” and during game play, players will have a chance to create and nurture wildlife, according to the Disney Parks Blog.

Players will search for hidden objects in natural settings, from the Rocky Mountains to the Amazon rainforest to the Australian outback. The game, developed by Playdom, features scenes directly inspired by the park. This is the first time Playdom has worked with an official Disney-branded IP.

The game is another example of Disney connecting social/game experiences to the theme parks, a big part of the company’s social media strategy.

In a game review on gamezebo.com, Playdom developers said the preserve-building elements of the game won’t mimic the style of gameplay you’d see in a typical social zoo game. It’s not about building concession stands and attracting tourists, but rather creating as authentic a habitat as possible for the animals.

After playing the game, you quickly see how the game works. While I was able to quickly find some of the easier animals, rare animals like the “Caecilias” will certainly expand your knowledge of the animal kingdom.
