London–based indie game studio Gamearound™ has licensed Street Skater, an instant mobile game playable from within the boohooMAN apps.
On 15th September, in line with the launch of their new skate collection, boohooMAN launch their new game STREETSKATER.
Available only through the boohooMAN app STREETSKATER is the first 3D animated game from the brand.
Skate your avatar through the streets of LA, collecting coins and pieces from the boohooMAN collection to earn points and win real prizes. One lucky winner will skate away with £1,000 in cash.
Inspired by the most recent skate campaign shoot the game is set against the sun bleached, palm lined streets of LA. Perform tricks and dodge cars and obstacles as you skate through various levels.

Inspired by the Boohoo Skate range from Fall 2020, featuring shoots with the acclaimed skate boarder Boo Johnson, the Tony Hawk-meets-Subway Surfer Street Skater game follows an avatar character clothed in a choice from the boohooMAN Skate range of sweaters, T-shirts and track suits. Players can select their preferred skateboard and hit the street, gathering coins, magnets and power-ups whilst performing tricks and jumping or ducking obstacles for maximum points on the game leaderboard.
Players who join the leaderboard by entering their game handle and email address join the prize draw and if you complete several points thresholds, you will receive promo codes for up to 40% discounts and free shipping vouchers.

Victoria Pearson, boohooMAN Ecommerce Trading Manager:
“We dipped our toe into gaming in lockdown, with the boohooMAN x Quavo rooftop runner, as a way to keep our audience entertained and everyone loved playing it. This time we’ve partnered with Gamearound™ and gone into gaming in a bigger way, bringing our first 3D game to the boohooMAN app. The game has some great features and tricks. My favourite feature though is you can change the look and outfit of your avatar – all wearing boohooMAN of course!’
Claudio Torres, Gamearound™ Chief Engineer: “Creating such an experience in a lightweight download package and incorporating boohooMAN products placed within gameplay is breaking ground and the deployment model offers technical challenges as we embed the game, but we don’t touch, the native app. All round, it’s a result“.
Gideon Clifton, CEO of Gamearound™ said, “We are bringing a new type of inclusive, casual gaming to brands who wish to engage their audiences further, and to reach new audiences. Casual players, hungry for gameplay which can be quick to play but hard to master. This will bring new opportunities to this burgeoning casual gaming category.’’
Street Skater is accessible from within the boohooMAN app, available from Apple App Store and Google Play
