Talking Ginger 2: Celebrating with a Global Favorite

Talking Ginger 2 (originally released as Ginger’s Birthday) is a popular virtual pet app developed by Outfit7 that invites players to celebrate the birthday of the mischievous kitten, Talking Ginger. Released in April 2013 for iOS and Android, it evolved the character-driven gameplay established in the original Talking Ginger app by shifting the focus from bedtime routines to party-themed interactions and skill-based progression.

Interactive Core Gameplay

The gameplay of Talking Ginger 2 is designed around the theme of growth and celebration, blending the franchise's signature talk-back feature with new activities centered on Talking Ginger's birthday party.

  • Celebratory Party Games - Candle Blowing: A central mini-game where players must click on candles as they pop out of a cake, reacting in time to blow them out before a timer expires.

    • Party Horn: Players can hold down a button to make Talking Ginger blow a paper party whistle for as long as possible.

  • Nurturing and Interaction - Mealtime: A dedicated "meal time" button shows a loop of Talking Ginger eating various snacks, allowing players to feed him until he is full.

    • Tactile Play: Similar to other titles in the series, players can pet, tickle, or poke Talking Ginger to see a variety of funny reactions, such as him falling off his log or his head spinning.

  • Progression and Rewards - Jigsaw Puzzles: The goal of the game is to unlock more than 50 (or up to 70 in some versions) jigsaw puzzle images that depict Talking Ginger's dreams or his life with other friends like Talking Tom and Talking Angela.

    • Fortune Wheel: Players can spin a Fortune Wheel every 24 hours to win free in-game snacks for Talking Ginger.

  • Classic Voice Mimicry: Talking Ginger continues to repeat anything spoken into the device's microphone in his signature high-pitched, cute voice.

Privacy & Safety: Entertainment For All Ages

The game appeals to a broad audience and it is rooted in Outfit7’s philosophy of creating "meaningful experiences that look, play, and feel good".

  • For All Ages: The game is explicitly designed to provide "endless entertainment for players of all ages".

  • Safe Environment: The broader Talking Tom & Friends universe is described as a "safe place for the whole family to enjoy," and Talking Ginger 2 shares this DNA, focusing on a rewarding, relaxing, and positive experience.

Since its launch, Talking Ginger 2 has been a key part of the global success of the Talking Tom & Friends franchise, which has surpassed 26 billion total downloads and over 119 billion video views globally.
