SAN FRANCISCO, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kwarter, a mobile application factory building apps that lie at the intersection of the social, mobile and TV spaces, announced today the launch of its first app, FanCake.

As the first live mobile and social gaming experience for sports fans, FanCake is a free iOS app for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, which enables fans and viewers to participate in televised sports by competing with and against one another, showcasing their sports knowledge, and socializing with Facebook friends and fellow fans - all based on the action on TV.
With the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament kicking off Thursday, FanCake will include all 67 games of the annual March Madness event and host a live, in-app tournament. Fans can play along while watching each game and compete for medals, trophies and win social challenges.

Features:
-- Choose a game and instantly play along, compete against and connect with
Facebook friends and other fans watching the game
-- Win rewards and trophies as you build your FanCard
-- Predict the outcome of the next play
-- Select from numerous professional and collegiate leagues and teams

"Sports are an inherently social and competitive activity, and FanCake enhances the game-watching experience by adding a game layer around the game's actual events, players, history and milestones," said Kwarter CEO Carlos Diaz. "FanCake will revolutionize how fans interact with live televised events, and enable them to not only watch, but play along with the game as well."
