iWin, Inc. and FremantleMedia Enterprises Introduce 'Family Feud: Battle of
the Sexes' for Online Gamers!
Game Now Available Online, Featuring Nearly 1,500 Relationship Questions



SAN FRANCISCO, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- iWin, Inc., a leading developer and
publisher of online casual games, has partnered with FremantleMedia
Enterprises (FME) to launch "Family Feud(TM): Battle of the Sexes." It was
jointly announced today by Peter Traugot, Executive Producer for iWin, and
Olivier Delfosse, Director of Interactive for FME. Now available online, the
7th installment of this wildly popular "Family Feud" casual game franchise is
based on the Emmy Award-winning, legendary syndicated game show.

"In deciding to make another 'Family Feud' game, the motivation was obvious:
every time I sit down to play, I am baffled about what women think," said
Traugot. "This is a great way to create some friendly competition between the
sexes while maintaining the same 'Family Feud' fun fans have come to expect."

"'Family Feud' is one of the largest and most recognizable game show
franchises in the world and we are thrilled to be releasing a new game," added
Delfosse. "The theme for 'Family Feud(TM): Battle of the Sexes' should
resonate well with its fan base, and players of this game are going to be in
for a challenge -- and lots of laughs."

"Family Feud: Battle of the Sexes" features nearly 1,500 brain-busting
questions based on the opposite sex. iWin has also made the multi-player
version "Family Feud: Online Party" available for those who are looking to
bring the fun to more people. New questions will be added twice a week to
ensure the fun is always fresh.

The "Family Feud" series of games stays true to the show's format: 100 people
are surveyed for each question, resulting in hilarious and oftentimes
unforeseen answers. Examples of questions include, "why hasn't he called when
he said he would?" or "what did 37 percent of people surveyed say ruins a
passionate moment?" With a variety of questions spanning the dating and
relationship arena, "Family Feud: Battle of the Sexes" will provide fun for
hours on end!

"Family Feud: Battle of the Sexes" is exclusively available on iWin.com, where
it can be downloaded with a free fifteen minute trial. Customers of iWin's
iCoins service can purchase "Family Feud: Battle of the Sexes" and all other
Family Feud games for 50 percent off.
