There’s a new attraction at 62 West Wallaby Street… mini golf built by the iconic English duo Wallace & Gromit! We are chuffed to be partnering with multi-award-winning studio Aardman to bring generations of fans together for immersive fun. The course, coming this Summer to all our platforms including Pocket Edition, will feature 18 easy mode and hard mode holes, specially designed lost balls to collect, a commemorative in-game putter, themed avatars from Wallace and Gromit’s many adventures, and lots of contraptions and other delightful mechanisms and obstacles… all set in the world of Wallace & Gromit.
“Wallace and Gromit are renowned for their love of tea, this felt a natural partnership for them to tee off with a new adventure....! When we first met with Mighty Coconut about the idea, we knew that there were plenty of opportunities to explore,” Sean Clarke, Managing Director of Aardman said. “With Walkabout Mini Golf, not only do fans get to putt through 62 West Wallaby Street, they can be there together–across their flat or across the globe as they relive old memories and make new ones. Whether they are immersing themselves in the course in virtual reality or hopping in on their iPhone or iPad, loyal fans of Wallace & Gromit—and people new to their pair’s hijinx—can count on discovering the humour, and the clever contraptions that generations have come to love.”
“Taking our players to 62 West Wallaby Street is such a thrill as a storytelling studio that started in animation,” said Lucas Martell, creator of Walkabout Mini Golf and head of Mighty Coconut. “Aardman has been a fantastic creative partner and has fully supported our imaginations running wild as superfans of Wallace & Gromit. We think people will be delighted with the charm and inventiveness they find that Wallace and Gromit have been up to in designing and building this new course.”
