"We were looking to create a physical and digital experience with LeapFrog Imagicard games that provided a more social and traditional learning environment, while still offering an incredibly engaging play experience for children," said Dr. Jody LeVos, director of learning at LeapFrog. "Through parent and child testing, we found that parents loved the idea of a collectible card experience that helped their children develop and grow as they played. And, children loved that they could bring their favorite characters to life in an interactive tablet experience, as well as collect and share cards with their friends. We know that children learn best when they're having fun, and our new LeapFrog Imagicard experience pays this off in a big way."
Characters and Curriculum Come to Life with LeapFrog Imagicard
With LeapFrog Imagicard games, children are presented with new ways to solve problems with 30+ interactive collectible cards that come to life on their LeapFrog tablet. Children use the camera to simply "capture" the card on the screen, bringing one of their favorite characters magically into the game and unlocking more ways to play. LeapFrog Imagicard launches with three interactive games that feature favorite characters including LeapFrog's Letter Factory, PAW Patrol, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Each game features LeapFrog's proprietary Just For Me™ Learning Technology, which personalizes the experience for each child by adapting automatically during play, offering tutorials, and more to keep kids challenged. LeapFrog Imagicard is also backwards compatible with all LeapFrog LeapPad™ tablets with the exception of LeapPad™1. In addition to the multi-leveled downloadable digital game and interactive cards, LeapFrog Imagicard comes with a character card tin for easy storage, and a play mat for card sorting and offline learning activities. All 30+ cards are also digitally included in the game, so children can still play the full games while on-the-go.
Initial launch titles for LeapFrog Imagicard feature amazing LeapFrog characters and some of the top children's properties:
*LeapFrog Letter Factory (for ages four to seven). Building on the very popular Letter Factory animated shows, LeapFrog Imagicard Letter Factory allows kids to step right up to the magical Letter Factory Carnival, where literacy skills are the ticket to unlocking new attractions. Children play carnival games to earn tickets at the prize wheel, use those tickets to let the letter cards into the carnival, and go on quests to find lost items that begin with each letter. For example, find and return the letter A's apple for a bonus coin. More than 50 Letter Factory trivia questions add to the fun. Take selfies with Tad and Lily, and decorate the images with stickers earned during play.

*Paw Patrol (for ages three to five). Join Ryder and the PAW Patrol as they lend a paw for Adventure Bay Appreciation Week, and unleash mathematics and problem-solving skills to earn Good Citizen badges. Patrol the bay for citizens who need help, and then find the pup with the right tools and skills for each mission. Challenge your PAW Patrol knowledge by answering 50+ trivia questions, plus, have a PAWsome time taking selfies with favorite pups, and decorate the images with stickers earned for completing missions.
*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (for ages five to eight). Team up with the Turtles and deploy shell-tastic mathematics skills to recover mutagen canisters that are scattered around the city. Play as Mikey, Leo, Donnie and Raph and complete fact finding missions by completing equations and feeding the team pizza using fraction skills. Scan in multiple cards to see how they interact in the animation fun zone, play trivia, and take selfies with them in ninjutsu poses.
