September 3rd, 2010Penguins: Power in Numbers!
August 26th, 2010Smashing Ideas and Nickelodeon just launched the last in a series of four mini-games for The Penguins of Madagascar! The final game stars Penguin Kowlaski and features up to five missions in the mini-game that’s never the same twice! Players try to match Kowalski’s smarts through an exercise in molecular physics of explosive mathematics. Like all the Penguins of Madagascar mini training games, Number Power ties in to the Penguins of Madagascar Clubhouse Experience where players rise up through the Penguin ranks and earn awards by completing special game and trivia missions. The site was built using Flash and incorporates hundreds of unique missions creating a collaborative Meta experience across all games.

The Inc. 5000, is an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. We’re very excited to be among a long list of talented, engaging brands and companies.

Howdy Neighbor!
August 20th, 2010The news came a few months ago that Facebook was opening a Seattle office! Wow! How awesome! The site with more than 500 million users to land in the Jet City/Emerald City/Rainy City! Then the news came that Facebook Seattle had found space near Seattle’s iconic Pike Place Market! Wow! Wait! Smashing Ideas is near the market! Finally we began watching the building across the alley – one of the floors was being painted, cleaned and we’re almost positive readied for Facebook. They moved in last week but today is the first day the blinds are up. We’re trying to be neighborly and say “Hi” but thinking our approach might be too stalkerish (banging on the window with signs that say “Hi Facebook”). We’re also pretty sure they’re going to close those blinds for good now. Maybe taking them a homemade pie is the better approach? What do you think? We hope they read our blog – as we know so many people out there do! We’d love to say hello Facebook Seattle (maybe an invite to next week’s open house?). Since Smashing Ideas is all about designing and innovating for the kid’s space we’ll close our note with: “Won’t you please, won’t you please, please won’t you be my neighbor?”

P.S. We’re testing out Facebook Places
Mega Music
August 18th, 2010Just launched: Moose and Zee lead little maestros through the Nick Jr Mega Music Game. Players make all the creative decisions to build their own Mega melodies with their favorite characters. Featuring The Fresh Beat Band, Dora the Explorer, Team Umizoomi, or Ni Hao, Kai-lan, players pick a theme song and make it their very own. They can speed up the tempo and volume, select which voices and instruments they want to use, sing along with lyrics on the bottom of their screen and really customize their Mega music experience! The site was created using Flash as well as Adobe SoundBooth for the time-stretching tempo adjustments. “Do do Dora, do do do Dora – hooray!”
