Man Versus Machine Reaches New Levels on GSN's Mind Reading 20Q(TM) Game That
Challenges Facebook Friends to Outsmart The Supercomputer

LOS ANGELES, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- To introduce GSN's newest game show,
"20Q(TM)" to the online audience, Jetset Studios has utilized the advanced
20Q(TM) artificial intelligence game engine to create a groundbreaking and
addictive new online game for GSN.com that begs the question: "Is it Animal,
Vegetable or Mineral?" 

As the pod door opens, players are introduced to Mr. Q, a sentient
supercomputer with an attitude.  Mr. Q will attempt to guess what the player
is thinking by asking a series of twenty questions.  Human error becomes a
factor only when players "Challenge" their Facebook friends to guess what's on
their mind in fewer steps than it took Mr. Q.  With the addition of the
"Challenge" round, Jetset sets the entire game in reverse with the powerful
Facebook Connect platform to send peer challenges directly through the social
network and post feed stories about each game.

"We're big fans of the 20Q(TM) engine," commented Patrick Young, co-founder of
Jetset Studios.  "Their powerful artificial intelligence allows us the freedom
to really entertain the user and create an engaging, interactive experience
that breathes new life into the cold logic of the machine."

"Consumers are increasingly flocking to social media sites like Facebook to
connect with friends in new ways," said Peter Blacklow, executive vice
president of GSN Digital.  "Our new 20Q(TM) game is entertaining for any
player, but being able to challenge your friends adds a new dimension of
competition and excitement to the game."

"We love it when people defeat 20Q(TM) ... it doesn't happen very often. I'm
sure millions of players will have loads of fun challenging their friends in
yet another cool application of my technology," said Robin Burgener, inventor
of the 20Q(TM) A.I.
