Paramount Pictures and Funtactix have launched "Mission: Impossible the Game," the official social game based on the Mission: Impossible movie franchise from Paramount Pictures.

The game features eight exciting stories, more than 200 missions and 50 global locations.

To promote the Dec. 21 release of the film Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol, the game will feature exclusive items and giveaways, including signed movie posters, hats and t-shirts; Mission: Impossible Blu-Ray DVD sets; movie passes to Mission Impossible-Ghost Protocol; and chances to win tickets to the premiere of the film.

"‘Mission: Impossible the Game’ goes well beyond a typical social game and brings an unprecedented level of detail and authenticity," says Sam Glassenberg, chief executive officer of Funtactix. "It allows fans of the action-packed Mission: Impossible movies to create an agent in the official M:I universe and live a life of espionage and covert operations with their real-life friends as accomplices."

"Integrating unique experiences and rewards into the ‘Mission: Impossible’ game is an exciting new way for Paramount to interact with the Facebook community and build on the excitement for Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol in an organic way," says Amy Powell, president, Insurge Pictures and Paramount Digital Entertainment and executive vice president, interactive marketing for Paramount Pictures.
