EDISON, N.J., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Majesco Entertainment
Company (Nasdaq: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass
market, today announced Escape the Museum for Wii(TM). Based on the popular
online hunt and find game from Gogii Games, Escape the Museum is being
developed by Majesco Studios and will be available in retail outlets this
holiday for only $19.99.
“Although an incredibly successful PC genre, the hunt and find
adventure category has yet to be introduced on Wii,” said Liz Buckley,
Director of Marketing, Majesco. “Escape the Museum’s online success coupled
with category opportunity and an attractive price point make this an ideal
title to bring to market.”
In Escape the Museum, a devastating earthquake has rocked the
foundations of the National Museum of History and players must help Susan
Anderson, who was knocked unconscious by falling debris while searching the
museum for survivors, escape from the crumbling building to the safety
outside. Thwarted by doors blocked with rubble and tripped alarm systems,
players wander through the museum’s maze of 12 different hunt and find
areas and 25 action-packed adventure scenes, using the Wii Remote(TM) to
uncover hidden exits and save priceless archaeological artifacts. Along the
way, players will solve puzzles, consult a map and access hints to help
them inch closer to freedom and a joyful reunion with Susan’s lost
daughter, Caitlin.
Escape the Museum for Wii(TM) is expected to release this holiday for
$19.99. For additional information about Majesco’s exciting line of
