The Game is made possible by the interactive license agreement (the “Agreement”) between Pixowl, the wholly owned subsidiary of Animoca Brands, and MGM Interactive Inc. The Agreement grants Pixowl a non-exclusive license to use the property and assets of The Addams Family to develop, distribute, and monetise The Addams Family Mystery Mansion for a term lasting through 31 December 2024 (refer to ASX announcement dated 25 July 2019).
