Buy Real Cookies With Fake Money Earned From Mobile Gaming
Cellufun offers over a dozen free games available for download to mobile phones. Most are simple, like checkers or sudoku, and most have some sort of social aspect to them, enabling gamers to play with friends. By playing certain games, particularly the casino-style ones, gamers already earn Cellupoints, a fake in-game currency, but so far they haven't been able to do much with them. There have been small pretend stores in the system for months, but the company is now formally launching the CelluMall, an in-game shopping center that will eventually be stacked with virtual wares from real companies.
Right now the mall is somewhat underwhelming, with the only "real" store being a bakery from franchise Geoff & Drew's, where you can buy cookies and the like. There are a few other non-branded stores from which you can buy virtual toys, but nothing all that exciting, so it probably won't be too hard to resist spending those hard-earned virtual bucks. But, if things go according to plan, before long there will be a raft of virtual wares to peruse and purchase, all without worrying about the budget. [Source: CelluFun]
