(SAN FRANCISCO, September 1, 2005)
– iWin, Inc., a leading developer and publisher of games for the mass market,
announces its release of the first downloadable Family Feud™ game based on the
highly successful television show. Sales from the first month of downloads
indicate that Family Feud will be one of the most popular downloadable games of
the year. Family Feud is the third downloadable game developed and published by
iWin, including the hit titles Jewel Quest and Mah Jong Quest. The Family Feud
downloadable game is produced by iWin in partnership with FremantleMedia
Licensing Worldwide, Americas (FLW, Americas), the US licensing division of
FremantleMedia, one of the largest international creators and producers of
program brands in the world,
“Family Feud is one of America’s
most beloved and easily recognized game shows, and iWin’s online downloadable
game is a great extension of this brand,” said Keith Hindle, Vice President,
Integrated Marketing and Interactive for FLW, Americas. “The gameplay is dead
on, the audio commentary amusing and, most importantly, it is fun and easy to
play. It’s no wonder that Family Feud is the number one downloadable game on so
many sites.”
The downloadable Family Feud game
offers more than thirty hours of fun through 2,200 questions and over 10,000

exciting commentary from the game’s host to make each round highly entertaining
and true to the fun of the legendary game show. Players can opt to play in the
single mode or team mode. From their computers, players try to guess the answers
of the 100 people surveyed and beat the average score or go head-to-head with a
friend or an entire family. In keeping with the TV version, players can pass,
play, steal and strike.
“At iWin, we have successfully
created original, innovative games, but we also recognize opportunities to
develop and work with other leading brands such as Family Feud,” explains CJ
Wolf, CEO of iWin, Inc. “We believe the sales and success of Family Feud are
based on a combination of the strength of the brand and our award-wining game
design expertise.”
