Following City of Wonder, my studio at Playdom was challenged with bringing the popular “Hidden Objects” genre of casual games to Facebook. We exceed all expectations with Gardens of Time, a massive critical and commercial success for Playdom that proved the validity of the genre on social networks.
Gardens of Time peaked at just over 4 million daily active users (then a new record for Playdom), and an astonishing 17M monthly actives. Most recently, Gardens of Time was honored by receiving the “Best Social Network Game” award at the 2011 GDC Online Choice Awards. I’m incredibly proud of this game, and all of Studio 24 for making it as incredible as it is.
