Pocket Gems and Universal Studios have launched an interactive story for the Episode mobile app based on the Pitch Perfect films. The Pitch Perfect: In Deep Treble story on Pocket Gems’ Episode platform arrives ahead of Universal’s holiday release of Pitch Perfect 3 film.

While Pocket Gems is a game developer, its Episode platform is more like a storytelling app. Episode is a comic-book style mobile app that allows fans to choose story paths in interactive tales. It is particularly popular with women and girls, and San Francisco-based Pocket Gems has had great success with other entertainment tie-ins that appeal to the same demographics.
