Playin’TV launches Scrabble™ Words: a game that everyone will talk about!

Paris, 23rd September 2009 – Visiware, leading worldwide publisher of games for pay television, adds a brand new word game to its catalogue with Scrabble™ Words.

The launch of this game is the new sign of the growing collaboration between Visiware and Mattel (which owns the rights to Scrabble™ outside of North America), a partnership initiated in 2006 with the classic Scrabble™ game.

With top quality graphics and a very comprehensive word database, Scrabble™ Words gets the player inside a fun and complete anagram game. Throughout 10 rounds, the player will have to form a requested number of words within the given time limit. Bonus points will appear on different levels depending on the words the player forms.

The game, which becomes more difficult as the player progresses, features different modes such as “Challenge“ (one player) or “Duel“ (two players), and a “Tutorial” mode which enables the player to familiarize himself with the game basics.

Quick and easy to handle, Scrabble™ Words addresses the whole family. It will be made available in October on French cable and satellite operators Canalsat and Numericable, and will then be distributed on Sky Italia, Sky TV (New Zealand), Dish TV (India), StarHub (Singapore), and Austar (Australia).

Besides increasing its game catalogue, this launch reinforces Visiware’s position as the world leading interactive TV game publisher.
