Queen: Play The Game has been created by SoshiGames of Birmingham in the U.K., a company focused on making games for artists and who worked very closely with QUEEN's official archivist and management team. "It was very important for us to be able to use only official QUEEN imagery and the band's incredible portfolio of music," says Cliff Dennett, CEO of SoshiGames. "We wanted to create an authentic and high-quality experience for the fans, befitting of a band with the stature of QUEEN."

Greg Brooks is QUEEN's official archivist and has curated a lot of the content used in the game. Greg remarks: "Queen: Play The Game presents a lot of imagery you may not have encountered before and in brand new puzzle formats. We submitted over 1,400 questions to Soshi, as well as a mass of imagery and they've presented the best of it in an inventive logical way — often in contexts you won't expect."

From launch, Queen: Play The Game spans across the history of the band, from the early days and the release of the first album, right up to "Made In Heaven" and the band members' solo projects. The app will grow as well, with new content and gameplay released on a regular basis, offering more ways to explore QUEEN and more ways to win cool official QUEEN prizes.
