You play the game from the first-person point of view of the main character, who is just listening to BLACKPINK at work as usual when "The Fragment of Chaos" smashes through the studio window and fell in front of them. After stepping closer to inspect it, a mysterious light flashes and the protagonist loses consciousness. They are then woken up by BLACKPINK members, being referred to as "Producer-nim." They then learn that they are the main producer in charge of managing the "rookie" group BLACKPINK.
With the mobile game, which also contains ads and in-app purchases, you can wear a producer hat and manage your own K-pop agency as you solve puzzles to complete the girl group's schedules, customize members with a range of outfit options, and play mini-games with friends in the BLACKPINK WORLD.
You can even level up your own BLACKPINK members through different training departments in vocal, dance, and acting, among others.
