  • The World of Pippi Longstocking is the first mobile game in ten years based on the fairy tale character
  • Pippi Longstocking is an icon of Swedish children's literature that has been translated into dozens of languages.
  • This new game is perfect for younger players, allowing them to interact with a vibrant fairytale world.

Stockholm developer Paper Play Games has announced the release of their latest project, The Legend of Pippi Longstocking. This game is the first in a decade to translate the original author's work into a mobile game and is now available on iOS and Android!

For those who don’t know, Pippi Longstocking is one of those famous cultural exports aimed at children. Much like Anne of Green Gables, the Moomins, or Harry Potter, the superhuman and tomboyish Pippi has had her stories (originally written by author Astrid Lindgren) translated into dozens of languages ​​around the world. It’s surprising then that she appears so rarely in the often kid-centric world of mobile gaming.

The World of Pippi Longstocking looks to be a relatively simple puzzle game mixed with a digital toy box, where you navigate a variety of locations from the books, act out certain moments, and discover new and interesting things. Think of it as a mix of a point-and-click adventure game and something like Scribblenauts, which makes it ideal for younger players.

Oddly enough, I discovered while researching this that Pippi Longstocking's fictional father, a shipwrecked sea captain who becomes king of a tropical island, is actually based on a real person. Real life can be stranger than fiction, huh?

The World of Pippi Longstocking is now available for iOS and Android!
