Boost Your Brain Power with Hands-On Mobile’s IQ Academy
SAN FRANCISCO, September 12, 2006 – Hands-On Mobile, a leading global publisher of mobile lifestyle, games and personalization products, today announced the launch of IQ Academy, a ‘one-thumb’ phone game that makes testing your mental muscles fun and convenient. Available on North American carriers this fall, the release of IQ Academy represents Hands-On Mobile’s commitment to publishing a wide variety of games appealing to a broad range of consumers.
Products designed to keep the brain sharp is a hot trend this year and Hands-On Mobile is at the forefront of this craze, offering one of the first mental agility puzzle games for mobile phones. The goal of IQ Academy is to challenge your mind by completing a series of puzzles quickly and with as few errors as possible. Whether it’s identifying the patterns in a puzzle, picking the correct answer to rapid-fire tests, or engaging in some mental arithmetic, IQ Academy presents a wide range of different challenges to put your intelligence to the test. The more time and practice you put in, the better you’ll perform—and the higher IQ score you’ll receive.
“We’re excited to lead the charge into a new category of mobile entertainment,” said Keith McCurdy, President, Studios and Products, Hands-On Mobile. “With IQ Academy, we’re able to combine truly compelling gameplay and brain busting challenges that will keep people coming back for more. Even better, this may represent one of the first games that gives adults a fighting chance to challenge their kids for a top score.”
Created by Dublin-based developer, Upstart Games, IQ Academy is based on G-mode's 'Right Brain Paradise' series of games, the first of which launched in Japan in March 2003 and updated several times since. In that period, the games have been downloaded nearly two million times.
With IQ Academy, Hands-On Mobile expands its current crop of award-winning casual games, which include SuDoku Garden, Connect Four and Monopoly Tycoon, while targeting consumers eager for a challenging way to spend a few minutes each day between meetings or while waiting for the train. Best of all, there’s no pressure. Whether it’s a few minutes a day or just a couple of times a week, IQ Academy will make it fun to entertain your brain.
