With the profits, Babe  and Kenzie start GAME SHAKERS, a super cool gaming company in Brooklyn, hiring their friend  Hudson as their first employee and overexcited tester.  But when superstar rapper Double G finds out the girls used one of his songs in their game without  permission, he threatens to sue them for all he is owed! To make things right, Babe and Kenzie  decide to make the rap superstar their business partner and hire his son, Triple G, as a game  consultant. Together, Babe, Kenzie, Hudson, Triple G and Double G will work to make Game  Shakers a huge success in the gaming world!
In the new series starting on Monday 8 February, we’ll see how this Game Shakers turn things  around in the gaming world! Answering to other companies’ requests of creating new apps about  some of their products or conceding to their new partner Double G and his eccentric ‘ideas’; all the  while trying to keep order in their business and that nothing goes out of their hands.  Do you want to know some more about the lives of 12-years-old successful entrepreneurs? Then stay  tuned to Nickelodeon Monday to Friday at 17:25 CAT! With the special two-episodes premiere  taking place on the same Monday. But don’t
