New DVD Games Equalize Playing Skills of All Ages So Whole Family Can Play Together

PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- A new type of summer vacation game that the entire family can enjoy together is now available on DVD.

Family DVD game developer, The b EQUAL(TM) Company, has introduced a new concept in games that lets the whole family play together while competing equally. Unlike other games on the market today, b EQUAL's DVD games, The History Channel(R) Family DVD Game: Time Troopers Edition and its newest game, National Geographic(TM) Family DVD Game: Show Me the Wild! Edition are available at http://www.bequal.com/ .

"b EQUAL games offer a new and innovative way for families to play together," said Dr. Tina Seelig, PhD, who teaches creativity at Stanford University. "As a parent and designer of educational games for children, I am particularly impressed by the technology that allows all ages to compete equally, ensuring that everyone is learning a tremendous amount while also having a great time."

b EQUAL games use patent-pending Dynamic Leveling(TM) to automatically adjust game questions based on each player's performance throughout the game. With the idea that parents and kids ages six and beyond can all play together, both games offer players a visually engaging and entertaining way to learn, while ensuring that all ages, from 6 to 106, enjoy playing.

b EQUAL games come entirely on DVD discs so there is no board to hunch over or any pieces that can be lost. The entire family can relax on the couch as the complete game is played and scored on the TV screen, using only a few buttons on the remote control.

A Gold National Parenting Publications award winner and recipient of the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, The History Channel(R) Family DVD Game: Time Troopers Edition has more than 1,700 intriguing questions and hundreds of video clips and photos. Comic legend John Cleese (of Monty Python fame), serves as the host, guiding players through momentous events, people and trends through history, from the thundering Mongol horde, to a Wright brothers test flight and the hula hoop revolution. (The game has a suggested retail price of $29.99.)

National Geographic(TM) Family DVD Game: Show Me the Wild! Edition is a playful spoof on a survival reality show, featuring John O'Hurley (J. Peterman of Seinfeld) as the game host. The game has more than 1,600 questions and hundreds of clips from the archives of National Geographic that showcase the world's most fascinating species. (The game has a suggested retail price of $29.99.)

Founded in 2002 with headquarters in Palo Alto, CA, The b EQUAL(TM) Company (b=) develops DVD games that bring the family together and make learning fun. b EQUAL games utilize exclusive Dynamic Leveling technology which enables children and adults to compete equally and ensures that the whole family is engaged and challenged.
