WAI and Bloomsbury Release Ghoulish Game
Bloomsbury Children's Publishing has launched an exciting new game called Demon Squares based on the popular books of Jon Mayhew. Mortlock, Jon Mayhew’s first book, chronicles the adventures of a brother and sister – pursued by flesh-eating crow-like ghuls – on an expedition to locate the legendary Amarant, a plant with power over life and death.
Bringing together different game pieces influenced by elements from the books, the user is required to click on game tiles, swapping them around, trying to get 3 or more of the same tile in a line but the timer runs down. Enter the game here.
WAI were commissioned by Bloomsbury Publishing to create the interactive experience based on Jon Mayhew’s hugely popular books, Mortlock and The Demon Collector. Repurposing the popular bejeweled puzzle, Demon Squares is a great addition to the expanding Jon Mayhew portfolio. Enter the game here.

About Jon Mayhew:
Jon Mayhew lives on the Wirral Peninsula close to the Dee marshes with his wife, four children and a menagerie of pets. He has been a teacher for over twenty years and works with children with Autistic Spectrum Conditions. As a child he used to play in the overgrown ruins of a Victorian zoo building dens in the bear pits and imagining that some of the animals still lurked in the thick rhododendrons. When Jon is not writing he enjoys running and has completed seven marathons. Traditional folk music is another passion and he plays mandolin in ceilidh bands.
