NEW GAMES AND COMPETITIONS

Start playing and go shopping for free.

Here it is, at long last – one of the most popular games the
United States and it’s now here in the UK.

Here’s the scoop! 

Abused News has already started, Saturdays at 8.00pm
(and repeated on Sundays at 2pm).  It's a funny half-hour
game focusing on the latest odds and sods in headline
news from around the world.  It’ll be sure to make you laugh
your socks off!

So now is the time to brush up on your current events because
after you’ve had a few weeks’ practice, we’re going to start
running the Abused News contest beginning 7th July 2007
and you could win some fantastic prizes!

Here’s how it will work.  Each time you score 4,000+ points
(that’s easy!) during the 8.00pm Saturday night game, you’ll be
entered into a drawing.  Two randomly selected winners will be
drawn at the end of the competition and each will receive a £300
shopping voucher.  Additionally, two more winners will be randomly
selected each week to win a £50 shopping voucher. 

Qualifying Games:
Saturdays at 8.00pm on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th July, 2007.

Good luck!

 

 

 

… and there’s more …

The Buzztime
       Lunchtime Quickie!

We know you don’t have enough time during the week to play the longer
games so we’re now running the Buzztime lunchtime quickie! 

Appeteasers contest is starting in September, 2007.  Hurrah!  The games
are shorter than Buzztime Quiz - each is only a 15 minute - 7 question game,
and they run daily from 11am to 2pm – (that’s 12 games a day), so you’ll be
able to get at least one game in, in your lunch-hour and two, if you’re lucky! 
Play often and you could be entered into the contest drawing to win.

Here’s how it works: 

Each time you score 2,000 points at the end of any Appeteaser game during
the 2-week competition, you’ll be entered into random drawing.  Each week 
five winners (that’s ten winners in total) will be randomly selected to win
a £100 shopping voucher.  We’re running two competitions so that’s 20
lucky winners in total.  

Qualifying Games:   

3rd – 9th September, 2007 (competition one).
5th – 11th November, 2007 (competition two).

Have fun!

                           
W I N N E R S  who got   W O N G A !   

Each month we’ll be highlighting winners from around the UK, but since
this is the first bulletin, here is a list of winners for the whole year up until
now.  If your name isn’t listed and you know you won, it’s because we
don’t have your correct contact details or your handle, or you didn’t
ever fill them in when you registered so, please update your information
now at players.buzztime.com 

YOU CAN’T WIN IF WE CAN’T CONTACT YOU ... and we can’t publish
you as a winner if we don’t have your nick-name or the local where
you play.  Remember we will never publish your real name or sell
your information to anyone.

So ... CONGRATULATIONS to:
