Sanrio

The game ­– designed by Roberta Taylor – will launch via a crowdfunding campaign that’s set to go live in September.

“We’re so excited to partner with Bandai America on the portable Tamagotchi that will offer fans a fun and interactive way to connect with their friend Hello Kitty throughout the day,” said Sanrio’s Susan Tran.

Delegates attending next month’s Summit will each get a copy of the book, as Sanrio seeks exciting product collaborations for its new Mr Men/Little Miss brand.
