Popular Hunt and Find Online Game Comes to Console this Holiday Season

EDISON, N.J., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Majesco Entertainment
Company (Nasdaq: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass
market, today announced Escape the Museum for Wii(TM).  Based on the popular
online hunt and find game from Gogii Games, Escape the Museum is being
developed by Majesco Studios and will be available in retail outlets this
holiday for only $19.99.
    "Although an incredibly successful PC genre, the hunt and find adventure
category has yet to be introduced on Wii," said Liz Buckley, Director of
Marketing, Majesco.  "Escape the Museum's online success coupled with category
opportunity and an attractive price point make this an ideal title to bring to
market."
    In Escape the Museum, a devastating earthquake has rocked the foundations
of the National Museum of History and players must help Susan Anderson, who
was knocked unconscious by falling debris while searching the museum for
survivors, escape from the crumbling building to the safety outside.  Thwarted
by doors blocked with rubble and tripped alarm systems, players wander through
the museum's maze of 12 different hunt and find areas and 25 action-packed
adventure scenes, using the Wii Remote(TM) to uncover hidden exits and save
priceless archaeological artifacts.  Along the way, players will solve
puzzles, consult a map and access hints to help them inch closer to freedom
and a joyful reunion with Susan's lost daughter, Caitlin.
    Escape the Museum for Wii(TM) is expected to release this holiday for
$19.99.  For additional information about Majesco's exciting line of products,
