From the creators of [Poptopia](http://popsecret.com/poptopia/?ref=protein.xyz) \- a mobile game built around a popcorn world - comes an attachable accessory that emits a fragrance to add an additional sensory experience to the game. Dubbed the Pop Dongle, the device can be plugged into a game player’s iPhone or iPad audio jack to release buttery, popcorn flavoured scents in conjunction with gameplay.   
  
Clearly aware of popcorn’s veritably irresistible fragrance, the game’s designers - popcorn company, [Pop Secret](http://popsecret.com/?ref=protein.xyz) \- claim Poptopia as the world’s first ever smellable mobile game, but have created only three Pop Dongle devices, to be auctioned off on [e](http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/221330298315?ref=protein.xyz)[bay](http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/221330298315?ref=protein.xyz) with proceeds going to the American Red Cross. Whilst the Pop Dongle is an exclusive release, Poptopia (the game) is available as a free download via the [iTunes App Store](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/poptopia-by-pop-secret/id688491722?ls=1&mt=8&ref=protein.xyz).  
  
 Although Pop Dongle is a world-first on the mobile gaming front, there has been an influx of product-related experimentation with sensory development and scent functions in the past, as seen in the [Ophone](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/11/ophone?ref=protein.xyz), a mobile device which allows users to send scented messages to friends.
