COMEDY CENTRALs Indecision Game Now Available on iOS and Android
Political Battle of Wits Kept Honest by Ballot Peeks, Smear Campaigns and Recounts
New York, NY - July 10, in the year of our Lord 2012 - In an
election year polarized by wealth, race, gender, overtaxation, and
religion, 2K Play and Comedy Central are proud to launch COMEDY
CENTRAL'S Indecision Game, a new app for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
and Android, including Amazon's Kindle Fire. Designed to add a new
wrinkle to the partisan divide: Who's really smarter - Democrats,
Republicans or Independents? - the game is a fast-paced battle of
wits where players must out-smart their friends by correctly
answering political questions and earning voters to eke out an
Election Day victory.
Gamers select their political affiliation and outfit their avatar by
shopping for a range of party-inspired costumes and curiosities -
from "COMEDY CENTRAL Donkelphant" trucker hats to "'I See Russia'
specs" to the sporty "O-Bomber" jacket - using "Greenbacks," the
in-game currency. Patriots can even acquire a Statue of Liberty
costume, complete with robe, crown and torch. Players then go
head-to-head with their opponent to answer humorous,
politically-themed questions against a relentless ticking clock.
Correct responses earn players "Voters" that must be strategically
placed on the game's "Big Map" of the United States. State
domination results in a "Smarts" victory for both the player and
their party. In the heat of the campaign, players can rely on
"Political Aides" for help, including stealing a state from
opponents or demanding a "Recount". Real-time results are displayed
in the game's "Election Headquarters" so there will be no hiding
which party is the smartest - whether the margin is by a hair or a
landslide.
"2K Play is excited to partner with COMEDY CENTRAL to bring COMEDY
CENTRAL's Indecision Game to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android,"
said Steve Lux, Vice President of Business Development for 2K Play.
"As the real world race heats up between Obama and Romney, it's
refreshing to play a game where smarts count and ballot peeks, smear
campaigns, filibusters and investigative committees are all part of
an honest day's work."
"COMEDY CENTRAL is thrilled to work with 2K Play for the launch of
the Indecision mobile game. This innovative strategy and trivia game
further expands the network's Indecision brand on multiple
platforms," said Dan Yang, Senior Vice President & General Manager,
345 Games. "As we close in on the race to the White House, we'll be
excited to see who will win this battle of political
intellect-Democrats, Republicans or Independents!"
Developed by 2K's Cat Daddy Games studio, COMEDY CENTRAL's
Indecision Game allows political junkies the chance to play with
friends using Game Center or Facebook, or be instantly matched
against a random politico.
