VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pug Pharm Productions Inc. (Pug Pharm), a Canadian leader in gamification and online social engagement, announced that its gameplay platform will power the official NASA game, Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond.

"We are excited about working with Project Whitecard and thrilled that Pug Pharm was selected to provide the next-generation gamification and social networking engine for NASA's MMO website and game," said Steve Bocska, CEO of Pug Pharm.
