Ryan, like so many kids his age, loves gaming and we’re proud to build on his authentic interests.”
“Expanding Ryan’s World in new and immersive ways is crucial to pocket.watch and the Ryan’s World brand in fulfilling our mission to bring kids more of what they love,” said Kerry Tucker, Chief Marketing and Franchise Officer, pocket.watch. “Ryan, like so many kids his age, loves gaming and we’re proud to build on his authentic interests as we empower kids to take playtime into their own hands.”
In the multiplayer arena game, kids enter Ryan’s World to play as Ryan and his hero friends to recover stolen party gifts taken by evil mastermind Packrat. Players rescue presents, avoid traps and robots, and can play team games where they’ll compete to collect more toys than the opposing team. You can see more on the “Super Spy Ryan” Amazon page which features the game’s trailer, links to download the app and exclusive “Super Spy Ryan” toys, apparel and accessories.
