Today we’re launching a VERY exciting new app – The Grunts: Beard of Bees. This funny, fun (and rather addictive) game is a FREE tie-in app for The Grunts book series (which launches next month with The Grunts in Trouble), written by Philip Ardagh and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
The game requires fast fingers, quick thinking… and no fear of bees! Build the biggest beard of buzzing bees as possible for Mr Grunt before your time runs out, but be careful – flowers, birds, and butterflies will all make his bees fly away. You can compete with friends for the highest score, and join the fun on Twitter, recording your score with the #beardofbees hashtag.
The game includes brand new artwork by Axel, hilarious voice-work by Philip, original music, and ingenious game play. You can find out more here, and read chapter one of The Grunts in Trouble below:
And here’s a video of Philip and Axel talking about the book (there’ll be lots more video content on our upcoming Grunts website):
