Hero Digital Entertainment has launched a mobile game that serves as the official game for the Columbia Pictures film Passengers which debuts today.

The title urges you to discover the truth about the Starship Avalon, which has malfunctioned during its 120-year voyage to a distant colony planet. 5,258 passengers are at risk, and a couple of them — Jim and Aurora — have woken up from cryo sleep early. Fans of the film can now engage with the game in a side narrative full of mystery, thrills, and technical details about the ship. You take on a job as an Anomalies Investigator to discover what happened.
