Plarium and Fox Interactive Launch “Rio: Match-3 Party” for Mobile

The Rio Film Franchise Comes to Life in a Match-3 Adventure; Jesse
Eisenberg reprises his role as Blu

TEL AVIV, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Plarium, a developer of mobile, social, and web-based games with more
than 250 million users worldwide, in partnership with Fox Interactive,
today announces the launch of their latest AAA Match-3 game, Rio:
Match-3 Party for Android and iOS devices. This family-friendly
adventure combines fun and fast-paced puzzle mechanics with the vibrant
star-studded world of the Rio franchise.

Players will explore the jungles of the Amazon and the streets of Rio de
Janeiro as they help Blu, Jewel, Nico, Pedro and the rest of the Rio gang
throw the best parties Brazil has ever seen. From stunning locations and
colorful stories, to over 15 hours of fully-voiced interactive character
dialogue including Jesse Eisenberg returning as Blu, Plarium delivers
everything players expect from the acclaimed franchise.

“Rio combines the signature AAA production values and depth of
Plarium’s flagship mobile titles with the casual gameplay of Match-3 to
create something really special,” says Gabi Shalel, CMO of Plarium.
“Knowing how much fans love the energy, characters, and adventures of
the Rio world, we had to go beyond what people expect from a typical
Match-3 game. With accessible, yet challenging gameplay, detailed 3D
character animations, lush environments, and fully-voiced interactive
dialogue, we feel that we’ve set a new gold standard for the genre.”

Players will work their way through hundreds of levels as they master
special challenges, meet new characters, unlock unique abilities, and
collect everything they need to throw parties across the exciting
destinations from the films. With offline and online gameplay modes,
