We're very happy (and immensely proud!) to report that The Room Three has been nominated  alongside DomiNations, Fallout Shelter, Lara Croft GO & PAC-MAN 256  for the Mobile Game of the Year at the DICE Awards.

The 19^th Annual  D.I.C.E. (Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain) Awards are held in Las Vegas on February 18th, so not  too long to wait!

We're pleased to let you know that The Room Three is now available to buy from the Google Play store!

Thank you to everyone who's followed us during the development of The Room Three, we hope you'll agree it's been worth waiting for.

On the cusp of the Android release we thought it would be a good time to share this post about all the love The Room Three on iOS received while the world snoozed after eating too much turkey & chocolate (though not at the same time of course) at the close of 2015.

A big thanks to everyone who has played our games and all the people involved in collating these lists :)

As you (hopefully) know by now, we’ll be releasing The Room Three on Android on the 11^th of January.

To help that go as smoothly as possible, we’re doing a Beta program before then, which will allow a limited number of people to register to buy and test the game early, and let us know if there are any problems. The game has been tested pretty thoroughly by our internal testing team, but with the huge range of devices for Android there’s bound to be a few niggles on certain handsets.

Before signing up, please bear in mind the following important points:

• Although this is a Beta, you will still have to buy the game in order to participate. The price varies by territory, but is £3.99 in the UK, $4.99 in the US and €4.99 in Europe. When the game releases properly you’ll have full access to the final version.


• You may experience problems with the game, both small and large. You need to be prepared to let us know in detail what’s gone wrong, and check that we’ve fixed it when we release updates.


• In cases where there’s a problem that we can’t solve, you’ll get a refund on your purchase.


• You need to make sure that your device has at least 1GB of RAM. Most devices from the last couple of years do, but older ones may not. If you’re not sure, www.gsmarena.com is a good place to check. Type the name of your device into the search box to find its page, then look for the “Internal” line in the “Memory” section. RAM us usually listed at the end of that line. E.g. it’ll say something like “16 GB, 2 GB RAM” – it’s the 2^nd number that’s important.


• Unfortunately we've had to disqualify the Asus ZenFone 2 for now, since a serious bug was reported that we're still looking into. Please don't sign up if you have that device.


• If you try to register and find that there’s no space, please don’t mail us! We’ll be very busy while the beta is in progress tracking down bugs and releasing updates, so your email will be ignored. If things go well, we’ll expand the test throughout the week to let more people in.

Wowzers, we're delighted that The Room Three  made it into the App Store's Best of 2015 list :) We're in some very good company there, you really should take a look for yourself by clicking here.
