‘Passengers’ movie has an official mobile mystery game on Android and iOS

In this age, the movie experience doesn’t end when the credits roll. And so it isn’t surprising that science fiction film Passengers has its own mobile game. Hero Digital Entertainment developed the game for the Columbia Pictures movie. It has you trying to discover the truth about the Starship Avalon that malfunctioned while on its 120-year voyage to a distant colony planet. There are 5,258 passengers at risk and a couple of them (Jim and Aurora) woke up from cryo sleep early. It’s your job as an Anomalies Investigator to find out what happened. The game brings a side narrative complete with mystery as well as technical details about the ship.

In the film, Jim and Aurora are played by Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. The movie was directed by Morten Tyldum. The game is available for download on iOS and Android.
