Playable via tablet, smartphone or computer, Toon Feud marks TELETOON Canada’s first ever second screen offering and brings a modern twist to the popular “family game night” tradition. In addition to an ever-growing library of trivia packs based on TELETOON Retro cartoons and general pop culture, Toon Feud will feature live programming events, wherein games are linked to on-air programming and trivia questions are inspired by the shows currently being broadcast.

“TELETOON Retro is all about spending time together as a family, which is why creating a family-friendly trivia game felt like a perfect fit for the network,” said Gavin Friesen, Director, Interactive, TELETOON Canada Inc. “Tablet ownership in families is growing rapidly and these devices are often used while watching television.

Families who wish to play the game can create a team and choose from a wide selection of themed game packs, each of which features three rounds of trivia covering topics such as The Flintstones and “Super Action Villains.” By answering questions like “Who is the alien that often helps Fred and Barney?” and “Where do the Care Bears live,” teams earn points and badges and can keep tabs on their ranking among other Canadian families. Badges are also shareable on Facebook through a parent’s account.
