REBEL MONKEY™ ENABLING FUN THROUGH CASUAL, REAL-TIME MULTIPLAYER GAMING PLATFORM
Monkey Wrench Gaming Platform Provides Unprecedented Levels of Interactivity for “CampFu™” – Rebel Monkey’s Premiere Casual MMO
NEW YORK – March 17, 2009 – Rebel Monkey, a New York City entertainment company focused on the convergence of games and social media, today announced the unveiling of its Monkey Wrench real-time multiplayer gaming platform. The Monkey Wrench platform delivers unprecedented levels of real-time interactivity for casual gamers as well as persistent in-game and in-world avatars, badges and achievements, and a robust virtual goods management system.
Unlike most multiplayer platforms that only offer asynchronous or head-to-head competitive play, Monkey Wrench provides additional levels of gameplay interaction, including the unique ability to allow players to form teams and engage together in real-time co-op games. Co-op games also form the foundation for Rebel Monkey’s premier virtual world, CampFu – a browser-based Casual Massively Multiplayer Online (Casual MMO) community powered by the Monkey Wrench platform.
In CampFu’s free-to-play environment, co-op games drive players to form natural teams, fostering deeper engagement and providing greater opportunities for monetization through the sale of virtual goods. Co-op gameplay emphasizes group as well as individual achievement. The recent success of games such as Rock Band points to their popularity. The initial co-op game offerings to be played on CampFu include FunGeez, WordMob, Critter Smackdown and Veg-Out.

Rebel Monkey is pleased to announce CampFu’s public release! If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already gotten on the bus to CampFu, created an avatar, and maybe even played a game or two. If you haven’t yet, get on board right now and sign up! It’s fast, fun, and free.
CampFu is bursting with fun features right out of the gate. You can try on the latest styles and buy a new outfit in the CampFu Store, meet up with other CampFu players on our forums, and last but not least, try out four different co-op multiplayer games. Every one of these games is designed for you to play together and win together as a team with your friends — or new teammates you meet here on CampFu. (You can practice by yourself in solo mode too, but the real rewards come with teamwork!)
Our starting lineup of games includes:
- Critter Smackdown:A horde of mischievous forest critters are out to steal camp supplies… even the luggage of new campers! It’s up to your team to fend them off and lay the smack down.
- FunGeez: The pond at CampFu has a colorful but nasty fungus infestation that’s stranded some innocent ducks. Grab your friends and help clear their way to freedom!
- WordMob: A classic CampFu pastime, where teams of players use letter tiles to spell words as fast as possible.
- Veg-Out: Help out at the CampFu farm, where you’ll need keen teamwork to deal with weeds, pests, watering, and customers who want their produce pronto!
Beat one of the many levels of these games and you’ll earn tickets to spend in the store. It’s up to you whether you spend your hard-earned tickets on threads or on power-up items to help you earn a record-setting score! Heck, you might even be able to earn a special CampFu merit badge or two for your profile if you play your cards right!
