Barnstorm Launches Tipping Point App
Take on the extraordinary Tipping Point machine in the official App of the hit ITV game show!
London; March 7th, in the year of our Lord 2014
- Barnstorm Games today announced the launch of iOS and Android
Apps based on RDF Television´s hit ITV show Tipping Point.
Barnstorm, publishers of the smash hit App based on ITV´s The
Chase, were commissioned to create the App by RDF TV and ITV,
and hope to follow the success of their previous ITV
collaboration with a game that is true to the characteristics of
the popular show. Quiz and amusement enthusiasts, as well as
fans of the show, can now take on The Machine on iPhone®, iPod®
touch, iPad® , iPad mini™, Android™ Phones and Tablets in the
official App of the popular RDF TV game show, Tipping Point.
Available on Google Play, App Store and Amazon Appstore, priced
at £1.49.
“We´re delighted to be able to bring the fun and tension of
Tipping Point to the palm of the consumer´s hand. We have worked
closely with RDF Television and ITV to produce a game that
encapsulates the spirit of this unique game show, which nicely
blends quiz and amusement action.” stated Simon Jeffrey, CEO of
Barnstorm Games.
Last year Tipping Point, hosted by Ben Shephard, was
commissioned for a 4th series (70x60) currently airing weekdays
on ITV. Like the show, the app will give players the chance to
test their general knowledge, compete against each other, and
push counters over the Tipping Point for a winning game.
Jim Allen, MD for RDF Television said, “Everyone thinks they can
take on the Tipping Point machine and tame it. Now's their
chance to prove it. One final word of warning - it won´t be
easy, so good luck, stay calm and enjoy.”
About the app:
Players commence the first round with three coins and must
answer questions to earn the right to play or nominate a turn on
The Machine. With a mixture of skill, luck and judgment players
need to accumulate coins across the next two rounds (Against The
Clock and Head To Head) before dropping them into a choice of
four drop zones, with the hope of pushing piles of coins off
onto the lower red zone (The Win Zone). The more they collect,
the greater the eventual prize fund.
It´s important to keep your wits as the lowest scoring player
will drop out after each of the three rounds, before finally the
remaining player takes part in the Jackpot Push. Winning a place
in the final earns the player the right to drop the large
starred Jackpot Counter and select their difficultly of
question; the more coins they accumulate, the more they will
improve their chance of pushing the Jackpot Counter into the win
zone and claiming the big virtual £10,000 prize.
