Canadian technology company Bnotions has recently announced the launch a new Canadian social gaming startup called Harth Labs. The venture gained public access along with its first game title: Say What?

 

The first game from Harth Labs is a social word game that has been developed for Apple’s iPhone and will soon be coming to the Google developed Android platform. The free game was announced at Facebook’s Hack Day in Toronto in July by the keynote speaker, Bnotions’ Managing Partner, Alkarim Nasser.

 

Bnotions wil be the engine that drives the development and design of games at Harth Labs. Nasser talked about the new venture and said that, “It was just a natural evolution for our people to want to showcase their thinking on an internal project. Bringing veteran game developers and designers into a company that has expertise in Facebook and mobile strategy, design and development gives us a strong edge in social gaming.”

 

He also talked about “Say What?” and says that, “We designed Say What? to have a low entry-point that ensures all can play, from the seasoned wordsmith to the casual word game fan. We feel it combines strategizing and wordplay in a low-stakes, casual gaming environment. Unlike many other word games on the market, Say What? not only tests players’ language skills, but also their skills of deduction and intuition.”

 

Bnotions is based out of Toronto and describes itself as an “Innovation Company that works with forward-thinking global brands and disruptive entrepreneurs.” The company has expertise in “strategy, design, and development of mobile, web and social products.”
