Midasplayer and Nancy Dell'Olio Team Up to Score for The Red Cross

LONDON, February 21/PRNewswire/ -- Midasplayer.com, the world's largest skill gaming site today
launches Quiz Queen, a multiplayer Internet trivia quiz game hosted by
international personality Nancy Dell'Olio in aid of The British Red Cross.



The game, which launches today on www.midasplayer.com, features Nancy as
the host, introducing the players to the game and taking them through each
question step-by-step, congratulating, encouraging and sympathising as they
play.



Quiz Queen is open to all and can be played for free or competitively for
a 35 pence stake. 50% of all proceeds from the game go to The British Red
Cross.



Before beginning the game, each player can create their very
own Avatar (computer generated character) 'contestant' which expresses
emotions and comic expressions as they compete. Then it's time to play.



Up to five contestants play each game of Quiz Queen, competing
against each other to answer as many questions correctly as quickly as
possible. Questions range from celebrity gossip to geography and Victorian
literature! After ten questions, the winning player picks up that game's
jackpot.



This is Nancy Dell'Olio's first foray into the Internet and
one which she is extremely excited about: "The number of people playing games
on the internet is incredible," says Nancy. "For me, it is like being a host
on a television quiz show with an international audience of millions where
everyone can have a go," she continues.



Nancy, who is known as a Red Cross Ambassador and for charitable work
through her own movement "Truce International", was introduced to
midasplayer.com by co-founder, Toby Rowland at the European
Football Championships in 2004. He says: "Nancy's combination of fun,
enthusiasm and her profile in Europe were key ingredients in making Quiz
Queen work. Nancy is brilliant in her role as host and the game is unlike any
other on the Internet. We fully anticipate that Nancy's Quiz Queen game will
become the most popular game on midasplayer.com."



Nancy continues: "This game is fun. Working with Toby and the
team to make it happen has been a great experience and people will have even
more fun playing it. Best of all, half the proceeds go towards the British
Red Cross."
