NTN Buzztime Launches Interactive Sudoku Game to Canadian Satellite TV Subscribers

Premium Game Debuts With Bell Canada's ExpressVu, Canada's Largest Satellite Television Provider

CARLSBAD, Calif., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NTN Buzztime, Inc. (AMEX:NTN) a leading developer and distributor of Play Along TV(R) entertainment and technology, announced today that the Buzztime(R) Sudoku game service is now available to Bell ExpressVu's satellite subscribers throughout Canada. ExpressVu subscribers can now play the popular number-based puzzle game using only their satellite TV remote control, and keep track of their personal game results and be eligible for prizes by registering their scores on the Buzztime website.

"Sudoku is one of the most popular and widely-played puzzle games in the world today. Subscribers to ExpressVu Satellite TV can now play many different versions of Sudoku in a fun, interactive format, without having to leave the comfort of their sofa," said Tyrone Lam, president of Buzztime Entertainment, a subsidiary of NTN Buzztime, Inc. "This is another example of our objective to produce the most popular games for the iTV platform under the increasingly popular Buzztime brand."

Buzztime's Sudoku follows the popular format of Sudoku games everywhere: puzzlers attempt to fill in a square grid so that every row and every column contains the digits 1 through 9. Bell ExpressVu's subscribers play Sudoku by tuning to Game Galaxy and selecting the Buzztime Sudoku game. From there, they can personalize their experience by selecting from different game backgrounds and then choose from one of three game formats, each with a different strategy of play. Players are prompted to select a level of difficulty, and then start the puzzle. Buzztime will offer prizes monthly to players who complete the puzzles in the shortest amount of time. There are thousands of games available in the library so the play is unique each time.

The Buzztime satellite TV game service available through Bell ExpressVu also includes the popular Buzztime Trivia Channel(TM) which also includes Buzztime Player leader boards.
