My Singing Monsters is a Canadian 2012 video game franchise developed by Big Blue Bubble.

[1] The first game of the series was published and released with help by Canada Media Fund (CMF) on September 4, 2012, for Apple iOS.

[1] Ports of the game for other operating systems were later released, including versions for Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Barnes & Noble Nook, and Steam.

On May 12, 2021, Big Blue Bubble announced that the series would be releasing its first console title, My Singing Monsters: Playground, on November 9, 2021.

[5] It is also possible to buy currency such as Coins, Diamonds, Treats, Relics, Keys, or Shards using real money.

Several Monsters sing in nonsensical gibberish such as the Mammott (bum), Fwog (wow), and Toe Jammer (doo), some sing fractured or short lines in English (such as the PomPom (hey), Shugabush (yeah), and Hoola (yippity yay), and others play real-world or fictional instruments such as the Quibble (piano), Bowgart (cello), Shellbeat (drums), and Strombonin (trombone).

There are also special Monsters known as "Werdos" that sing actual lyrics (the Parlsona, Tawkerr, Stoowarb, and Maggpi), as well as the Ethereal Quint, BeMeebEth.

The Monsters are often designed as exaggerations of real-world animals or objects (such as the common Fwog (frog) and common T-Rox (tyrannosaurus), cartoon caricatures of monsters from folklore and mythology (such as the Epic Blabbit (jackalope) and Dragong (dragon), fusions of living creatures and instruments (such as the Floogull (flugelhorn/seagull) and Sox (saxophone/fox), resemblances to real-world people such as the Shugabush (Kristian Bush) and G'joob (Wilford Brimley), or representations of the Monster's in-game elemental makeup such as Theremind (Psychic), Clackula (Bone) and Potbelly (Plant).

Monster Choir was supported independently from Big Blue Bubble, and thus these versions were not listed on its website and were almost never mentioned by the developers.

Although downloaded applications (or "apks") can still be found on the internet, they can no longer be played by any means, leaving any original content in the status of lost media.

Unlike the original game which introduced the Fire Monsters to players, the main song is on "the Continent", a supercontinent land that was formed similarly to Pangaea.

There are five sections of the Continent, unlocked at different player levels and are based on the Natural Islands from the original game.

Monsters in their young form are initially raised on the Continent, each of which plays a unique tune that contributes to the musical theme.

The board game was supported by Kickstarter from June 1 to 21 and was designed by Sen-Foong Lim and Jay Cormier.

The game featured five stages, each with its own song, and Muppets were obtained by "digitizing" them with a machine called HARV-E.

[15] In July 2013, Big Blue Bubble announced that they had collaborated with Grammy Award-winning artist Kristian Bush from American country music duo Sugarland to create a new Monster, the Shugabush.

[citation needed] He praised the attractive music surrounding the game, and collaborated with Big Blue Bubble to create the Shugabush.

After his collaboration was featured in a news release, he said "First of all, the music in My Singing Monsters is irresistible — that's what drew me to the game.

"[17] In October 2013, Big Blue Bubble signed a deal with publishing house Egmont UK as its new strategic licensing partner.

[18] In July 2017, Big Blue Bubble announced that Wind Sun Sky Entertainment will adapt its mobile game My Singing Monsters into a multi-media franchise, beginning with an animated TV series and consumer products program.

[19] In March 2021, Big Blue Bubble began an 8-episode series called My Singing Monsters: Fandemonium, in collaboration with Wind Sun Sky Entertainment.

[1][21] However, Kotaku was "a bit disappointed" with the level of complexity added in Dawn of Fire, reporting that the new feeding system hinders progress towards the whole concept of unveiling the "musical nirvana".
