Take the BeanBoozled Challenge Anywhere with New Free Mobile App

Connect with Friends Remotely with Real-Time Video Feed

FAIRFIELD, CALIF., May 19, 2017 — The new free mobile app from Jelly Belly Candy Company that lets consumers take the BeanBoozled® Challenge anytime, anywhere debuts an update with real-time video capability. The game of lookalike pairs of jelly beans continues to soar in popularity among a wide range of consumers. The BeanBoozled app features a virtual spinner and a proprietary video program that lets friends play together remotely through a video feed. The BeanBoozled Mobile App is available on the App Store® and Google Play, and is offered in multiple languages, including English, German and Spanish.

 

The BeanBoozled Mobile App takes gameplay to the next level, allowing users to challenge friends through a real-time video feed. Players can connect to their contacts through the app, and interact using their device’s camera to share reactions and experience the BeanBoozled Challenge together. While using the video feed to connect, players will also see the same virtual spinner wheel, playing just as they would if they were in the same room together. The app’s Share Mode lets users save photos and GIFs from this feed, share directly on social media channels and add BeanBoozled-themed frames to photos.

The BeanBoozled Challenge gained an ever-growing following online as consumers continue to share their experiences taste testing lookalike jelly beans on social media and video sharing sites such as YouTube. The game consists of ten pairs of identical Jelly Belly® jelly beans with very different flavors. One possibility is delicious while the other is frightening. Will it be Coconut or Spoiled Milk? Strawberry Banana Smoothie or Dead Fish? There’s only one way to find out.

The virtual spinner in the BeanBoozled Mobile App is a replica of the one from the popular BeanBoozled Spinner Gift Box packaging, with the app now selecting the color jelly bean the player has to try. In addition to the video feed capability and spinner, the free app also has a flavor menu to identify flavor possibilities in the current 4th Edition mix of the BeanBoozled line, a store locator and a feature to shop online.
