The Fixer Upper

The Fixer Upper by New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andews, is getting the casual game treatment. The game, “Mary Kay Andrews: The Fixer Upper” is expected to release in time for the holiday season in December 2009.

“Watching my characters and stories being spun into a casual game for my fans to continue to enjoy in their leisure time is an amazing experience,” said Mary Kay Andrews. “Digi Ronin is the best possible gaming company to design such a project, and I can’t wait to play the game along with my fans.”

The story will be changed to a hidden object game featuring over 20 scenes from the book and over 10 mini-games. In the game, players will “join fledgling lobbyist Dempsey Jo Killebrew, framed for a crime and then fired by her unsavory boss, as she flees the high-powered world of WashingtonD.C. for the hilarious surprises of small-town Guthrie, Georgia. Here, the now unemployed Dempsey Jo is tasked by her father with restoring the family’s recently inherited, and definitely fading, Victorian mansion into a real-estate cash cow.”

“We are thrilled and honored to be working with an author the caliber of Mary Kay Andrews,” said Jay Powell, Co-founder of Digi Ronin Games. “Her style and stories are a perfect match for the casual game market, and we intend to do her and her legions of fans proud.”
