Psych also has many online platforms to engage fans. Last year Psycho-Os could participate in an online game called Hashtag Killer where they would get clues to solve a crime with the Psych stars, Shawn and Gus.

If you’re talking social media, Psych is great at that too. Its Facebook page has 2,671,099 likes with 120,712 people talking about the page. Twitter is filled with fans liking and interacting with the stars of the show @DuleHill (Gus), @corinbernsen (Poppa Bear Henry), @Odmunson (Lassie), @maggielawson (Jules), and the official Twitter pages of the show. Feel free to find all of the Twitter pages and check out the engagement on each. I can assure you there’s a lot of it.
