The Let's Play Backpack accessory turns traditional screen time into engaging family time on iPad. The app features games that reinforce matching, listening and logic skills, as well as Spanish language, inspired by Nickelodeon's hit animated preschool series, Dora the Explorer. Each game includes four adventures: 'Let's Listen,' 'Let's Pack,' 'Let's Match,' and 'Say It Two Ways.' In each adventure, players are presented with two choices that show up on the iPad screen. Players then place tokens on the corresponding spot on the backpack accessory to match their answer. The top of the backpack accessory will spin and collect tokens for each correct answer - no need for scorekeeping or counting.

"We're excited to bring the magic of Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer to iPad in a new and innovative way," said Mike Sievert, CEO of Discovery Bay Games. "This new accessory and app will allow parents to create an entertaining and educational gameplay experience they can feel good about."

The Let's Play Backpack accessory is available now exclusively at www.amazon.com for $39.99, and will be available at other select retailers this fall.

The Dora Let's Play Backpack - Duo App is available for free from the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore.

The Discovery Bay Games' Duo line debuted in October 2011 and includes Atari Arcade, Duo Pop and Duo Plink.
