Netflix is expanding its reach to even its youngest viewers, as Peppa Pig leaps into the gaming world with a brand-new interactive experience.

“Just a few months after outlining our key areas of focus, the release of ‘World of Peppa Pig’ marks our first step in creating this comprehensive destination, beginning with this incredibly popular preschool IP,” Netflix’s GM of Games, Lisa Burgess, stated. “World of Peppa Pig” is set to be a hub of mini-games, coloring activities, puzzles, and various interactive features.

The game’s content is inspired by the PEPPA PIG television series, which has recently launched its seventh season on Netflix.

“Drawing insights from our film and series teams, we’re starting by aligning with the content that children already recognize and cherish,” Burgess explained. “This means prioritizing well-known and beloved worlds – characters they already watch, toys they enjoy playing with, games they already love – and IP that is connected to Netflix.”

She continued, “PEPPA PIG, in particular, has been a celebrated British preschool series for over two decades. So, when considering the starting point for our journey into kids’ games, Peppa was at the top of our list.”

Amidst a streaming landscape where platforms frequently increase subscription costs, Netflix stands out by not charging extra for access to its games, viewing them as an “added value” to its memberships.

“Since Netflix offers a single, all-inclusive membership that many families already subscribe to, we eliminate barriers to entry, enhance the value of existing memberships, and can reach a significantly broader audience,” Burgess stated. “The launch of the World of Peppa Pig game on Netflix, alongside Season 7 of the series, perfectly exemplifies the value we aim to provide our members. Through their existing Netflix memberships, they can watch and play within their favorite worlds.”

The Netflix Games Instagram account shared a sneak peek of the Peppa Pig mobile game, highlighting a selection of the engaging “games, activities, and puzzles” designed for young fans. Full episodes of the show are also available.

Parents should note that a previous PEPPA PIG episode featured a same-sex couple. It remains to be seen whether these characters will appear in the game, but parents who plan to let their children play may want to monitor the content as a precaution.

The introduction of new children’s games on Netflix represents a positive step towards creating more educational and mentally stimulating screen time experiences. However, parental involvement and supervision remain essential.
