“We’re proud to have implemented a gaming experience in our digital Littlest Pet Shop app that goes beyond rendering the toys in the game.

Each side brought their expertise — physical toys on one hand and the digital gaming world on the other — to create a rich and original product.”
“Through the companion app girls can immerse themselves into the digital Little Pet Shop world and continue to build their pet collections virtually” explains Samantha Lomow, Hasbro, SVP Global Marketing. “We are expanding our digital activations with the a whole new level of integrated play and creating a way for new and existing fans to explore a whole new Littlest Pet Shop.”

Littlest Pet Shop is one of the first to target the playful, pink world of girls’ toys. The Littlest Pet Shop app definitely offers a new way for a girl’s Littlest Pet Shop collection to grow.
