Wooga makes its next big bet on hidden-object mobile game Agent Alice (exclusive)

Wooga has become very meticulous with its process of creating hit mobile games, often starting with 100 ideas and publishing only a couple of titles a year. And now the German game company has worked through that process to unveil another game, a hidden-object adventure game called Agent Alice.

Jens Begemann, chief executive of Berlin-based Wooga, said in an exclusive interview with GamesBeat that the title has been in the works for 18 months, with more than 80 developers creating it and the weekly updates that will come out after the game launches. The title is a sequel of sorts to Pearl’s Peril, the first hidden-object game that Wooga brought to the market in September 2013. That game has been a tremendous success, generating more than 30 million downloads. Agent Alice will debut on Feb. 26 on iOS and Android devices.
