LAURA'S HAPPY HOME SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO TAKE GIRLS ON INTERACTIVE EXPLORATION AND EMPOWERING ODYSSEY
First Playmobil Girl's World Line Release Is Truly A Girls' Game
ATLANTA- (May 28, 1998) E3 Booth #7116-Young female gamers will soon be welcomed into Laura's Happy Home, the first PC release under the new Playmobil Girl's World line. Laura, the player's alter ego, takes girls on six different quests and through authentic pink Playmobil environments, including the Playmobil Doll House. While exploring, Laura discovers a mysterious Mood Diamond that takes her on a whirlwind of adventures full of humor and mystery. Players are along for a fascinating ride in which they help Laura solve problems for her family, which restore the diamond to its former beauty; untangle surprising riddles; and decorate the whole Playmobil house by changing wallpapers or furniture and rugs. This role playing game is a true game for girls, designed to challenge young girls' creativity, build problem solving and social skills, and enhance their sense of observation and capacity for understanding.
"Most of the exciting and well-made computer games have traditionally been targeted toward the male player, but we think our Playmobil Girl's World line will prove enticing to young female gamers," said Alain Tascan, Vice President, Special Projects for Ubi Soft Entertainment. "In Laura's Happy Home we not only create an intriguing Playmobil Doll House to explore and decorate, we've also developed a storyline that taps into a young girls sensibilities by focusing on creativity and social interaction."
