London, ON. April 24, 2024 – Game Developer Big Blue Bubble celebrated a significant accomplishment during the Awards Ceremony for Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Culture (2023), presented by Waterstone Human Capital.

Representatives from the Big Blue Bubble team traveled to Toronto, ON last Thursday to celebrate and accept this prestigious award among several other Canadian companies who understand the importance of having a strong corporate culture to drive performance. CEO, Claudette Critchley, along with the rest of the event’s attendants, were proud to be at this event to commemorate the studio’s unique and inclusive environment, showcasing the passionate and enthusiastic characteristics that make working at Big Blue Bubble truly special. 

The company demonstrated the unparalleled “special sauce” that makes Big Blue Bubble stand out amongst the crowd through a brief, yet powerful video, showcasing what it is like to work at Big Blue Bubble and the activities the team enjoy together on a regular basis. The organization is proud of this recognition and will continue to invest and focus on its people and culture as that is what makes Big Blue Bubble one of Canada’s most admired corporate cultures.

What’s New

NEW Monster: Epic Clavavera

The Clavavera Family is pleased to welcome Epic Clavavera to their Heartbeat of Forever Celebrations! The purple hues present in Epic Clavavera’s ensemble denote the feelings of loss and grief when parting with a loved one. It’s important to remember that grieving and mourning are both important and necessary parts to play through the process of mourning. However, surrounded by family and friends, all Monsters are able to overcome and persevere and hold remembrance of their loved ones forever!

NEW Monster: Rare Rooba

It’s no secret Rare Rooba is ‘Picsie (a big fan of DJ Epic), so it’s no wonder this Rare Magical Monster is constantly hanging out near the edges of Psychic Island where the eyeball critters of Cruv’laapht allow transmissions of DJ Epic’s set to be heard loud and clear! Adorned with homemade tie-dye attire and rockin’ out to DJ Epic’s greatest hits, this Monster is absolutely loving living in the wide-open starscape of Psychic Island!

NEW Monster: Adult Plixie

Contrary to the appearance and display of Plixie’s brain, Adult Plixie is much more focused on physical gains than mental ones. It’s definitely not a Monster to miss out on arm day at the gym, attempting to bulk up its physique with massive muscles. Adorned on its arms you may also notice an assortment of temporary tattoos, an ode to finding its true self!

NEW Beat Hereafter Costumes

We are thrilled to introduce a brand new series of Beat Hereafter Costumes! These festive fashions will allow your Monsters to honor and revere their loved ones and ancestors every day of the year!

Seasonal Island Skin: Beat Hereafter

Bone Island has once again transformed to celebrate the Beat Hereafter! Decorated with sugar skulls and calacas, the Monsters of the Island are ready to connect with their long-departed ancestors in a festival of celebration and remembrance! The noise and bustle of the Island’s festivities truly resonate with the profound power of the “heartbeat of forever.” Even the Necrull Titan is observing this special holiday but dressing up and being a gracious host for the duration of the event. You can purchase this lovely Island Skin and celebrate on Bone Island all year round!

NEW Beat Hereafter Decorations and Obstacle-Decorations

This year, we’re bringing animated decorations to Bone Island in celebration of the Beat Hereafter, along with the classic Seasonal Obstacle-Decorations! Miraculously, the animated decorations will last long-after the Beat Hereafter celebrations have concluded, which means you’ll be able to showcase them for the whole year!

In This Update

NEW Monster: Epic Clavavera

NEW Monster: Rare Rooba

What’s New

At last! Spooktacle has arrived, and the Monsters are already “goblin” up their candy and preparing for a “howlin” good time!

Punkleton has descended upon Plant Island once again and has embellished it with “boo-tiful” and “fangtastic” decorations. Don’t trip over the Smunk-o-Lanterns or get lost in the Inverdigus Cemetery during your stay – you never know what frightful fates may await you!

If you really want to raise your spirits, make sure to trick-or-treat yourself to some of the “ghoulish” and “gourd-geous” Spooktacle costumes available! With 30 to choose from, the Monsters will certainly be the pick of the patch!

Make sure you’re ahead of the “carve” on The Colossingum this year and complete the “Trick-or-Treat” Seasonal Quest! You’ll be handsomely rewarded. With an “eerie-sistible” costume for Punkleton and a truly “ghoulish” trophy, you’ll certainly be the “Pun-kin” King or Queen this Spooktacle! Don’t ghost on the chance to join in all of the frightful fun, or it may come back to haunt you…

New Monster: Cranchee

We were dreaming of more Dreamythicals transcending upon Mythical Island when suddenly I awoke to find Cranchee making its debut! Cranchee has sprung from the imagination of Strombone, leaving it with both aquatic and glacial traits. This Dreamythical’s disposition may at times seem a little frigid, but rest assured Cranchee wants nothing more than to support its fellow monsters in harmony and song.

New Monster: Rare G’joob

At last, Rare G’joob has transcended upon Plant and Mythical Islands to a welcome chorus of chorale and cantatas. Rare G’joob’s embellishments are quite ornate, and its tusks and winged moustache definitely set this Rare Mythical apart from its Common counterpart. But as with any given “mersey” of G’joobs, there are always one or two who aim to be different and strike a solo!

Amber Island Wave 8

Amber Island is celebrating today as it welcomes its newest residents, Tring and Rare Tring! Not only are the Tring duo making their euphonious emergence, they are being joined by Rerun winners Monsters Sooza and Flum Ox! This quartet of Monsters will surely bring concinnity and mellifluousness to the Amber Island song. 

In This Update

Spooktacle Decorations and Seasonal Obstacle Decorations available

Over 30 Spooktacle Series Costumes available to collect

Seasonal Quest – ‘Trick-or-Treat’ 

NEW – Cranchee

New Mythical Monsters

Mythical Island is the ultimate destination for the Mythicals you’ve bred on the Natural Islands, as well as the home of the Cataliszt and exotic Dreamythicals! During the conclusion of our Anniversary Month Event, the first three Dreamythicals are making their debut one at a time, starting with Sporerow! Tune in to our extended edition of My Singing Monsters Live on Thursday for a first look at the next two Dreamythicals!

More Mythicals, along with their corresponding Dreamythicals, are arriving as pairs in the future. We’ll be working closely with our Ultimate Creator Experience backers to bring their visions to life – we’re super excited, and you should be too!

Anniversary Year!

This is only the beginning of a year-long celebration called ANNIVERSARY YEAR! Over the course of the next 11 months, the Monster-Handlers have tons of exciting updates, features and content planned – new Seasonal Events, a more immersive and easy-to-use Map experience, and an EYE-OPENING revelation that will shake the foundations of the Monster World!

We can’t wait to embark upon this exciting journey with everyone – we couldn’t have done it without you, and we are so grateful for your love and support. Thanks again for 10 years of breeding, feeding, and singing with the Monsters! Happy Monstering!

SummerSong is back, and this time alongside a new two-winged friend, Epic Grumpyre! Hoola has also made its big return to usher in some SummerSong shenanigans, along with its cousins Rare Hoola and Epic Hoola in the weeks to come. But what’s that on the horizon…?

Enjoy SummerSong!

Head to your app store below to start playing. Happy Monstering!

What’s New

Hello Hoola

The Seasonal Monster of SummerSong is back: Hoola! Buy or breed this perky prankster all SummerSong long. But that’s not all! Its dual-hooped cousin Rare Hoola and Epic Hoola will also be making a landing at Seasonal Santy for the first time!

Introducing EPIC GRUMPYRE!

There are two things that an Epic Grumpyre dislikes more than waking up early – bright lights and garlic bread. Unlike its Common and Rare counterparts, its body is not covered by a protective, soot-like shroud; so it’s both a blessing and a curse that its skin has developed accelerated regeneration, causing an endless cycle of bursting blisters and rapid healing. Another feature it lacks are horns, leaving it unsure of where it should grab life. Its main advantage, though are its well-trained ears – the Shadow Elemental can hear even the most hushed lip-smacking of any Monster enjoying Treats, and particularly loves to mutter the catchphrase “It’s Grumpin’ time” as it enjoys a late night snack of its own.

SummerSong Costumes!

SummerSong Costumes are back! There are 16 SummerSong themed Costumes to collect, available on the main Islands and the Colossingum. Once you buy or breed them for your Monsters, they’re yours to keep and display all year long!

SummerSong Rocks, Trees + Decorations

Our collection of animated SummerSong Decorations and Permanent Seasonal Obstacles are back for a limited time! These Seasonal Obstacle Decorations are only available during SummerSong, but they’ll keep their summery appearance all year ’round.
