The Op announces partership games with Spongebob, PIXAR and Friday the 13th
The Op, formerly known as USAopoly, the undisputed master of IP integration, has collected yet another pop culture icon into their coffers, and he lives in a pineapple under the sea. The Op has announced a new partnership with SpongeBob SquarePants along with two games taking full advantage thereof. Trivial Pursuit: SpongeBob SquarePants will test every fan’s knowledge of the popular Nickelodeon cartoon with over 600 questions in categories such as Songs, Characters, Locations and more. SpongeBob: Plankton Rising will take the proven format of Thanos Rising: Avengers Infinity Wars and apply it to the SpongeBob universe. In this cooperative card and dice game, 1-4 players take on the familiar roles of SpongeBob, Patrick, or Squidward to take on the evil Plankton. And for those in the know, the giant statue in this edition is a Plankton Chum Bucket. The Op has previously made versions of their Rising games with Harry Potter: Death Eaters Rising and Star Wars: Dark Side Rising. For more details, check out the press release from The Op here.
