Cartoon Network plans to launch a new mobile app that will feature games linked to its animated series.
With the new free to download app, available March 11, users can play new games and collect more than 60 digital characters even while viewing shows on the network, which is part of AT&T’s Turner unit.
Lego Group has signed up as launch partner with its Lego, Ninjago and Lego City brands, and will provide exclusive figures to users of the app.

One feature of the app is that it employs Automated Content Recognition to register when the user is watching Cartoon Network episodes. The user is then alerted that a digital figure from that show is available to add to their collection.
The app will also give users an opportunity to participate in immersive activities built around shows.
Here are some of the first games available on Cartoon Network Arcade, as described by the network:
