“We are very excited to work with Ludia and Universal to power the in-game advertising for Jurassic World Alive,” said Benjamin Chen, Tapjoy’s SVP & GM, Global Developer Relations. “By bringing some of the biggest brands and best ad creative to a game with such popular Intellectual Property, we are once again proving the power of rewarded advertising to deliver value for all parties involved — the publisher, advertisers and consumers as well.”

Jurassic World Alive uses Augmented Reality to let players explore their own neighborhoods searching for a variety of dinosaurs featured in the movies Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The app has generated more than 11 million installs since launch and quickly became a Top 5 free game in over 30 countries on both the App Store and Google Play app stores, where it has a combined user rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars. Tapjoy is the game’s exclusive provider of all video and Offerwall ads.

“We chose Tapjoy as the exclusive provider of ad-based monetization for Jurassic World Alive because the team has proven it can deliver on our needs for big-brand ad demand and highly engaging ad experiences,” said Francois Daoud, Vice President of Marketing at Ludia. “Tapjoy’s Interplay Ads extend and complement our unique game while giving our players a simple and exciting way to take part in the app’s virtual economy.”

During the first half of the year, Tapjoy added hundreds of new apps from some of the biggest names in mobile publishing. New apps supported by Tapjoy in 2018 include:

  • Voodoo’s Tornado.io!. Reaching #1 in the Top Free Games category of the US App Store, Tornado.io! asks users to play the role of a tornado and destroy everything in their path. With a 4.7/5 user rating, Tornado.io! is one of the most original and well-liked apps of the year.
  • PerBlue Entertainment’s Disney Heroes: Battle Mode. Starring Disney and Pixar heroes from The Incredibles, Wreck-It Ralph, Toy Story, Zootopia and more, this action-packed RPG was one of the most anticipated releases of 2018.
