Humorous trivia games appeal to wide range of bar and restaurant patrons
CARLSBAD, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NTN Buzztime, Inc.
(Amex: NTN), a multi-point social interactive entertainment company, today
announced the launch of two new interactive trivia games -- "True,
Half-True ... or a Total Lie" and "Odd Couples."

These games are now available in bars and restaurants across North
America on the Buzztime(R) Network.
In "True, Half-True ... or a Total Lie," players are challenged to
sniff out the correct answer and decide whether each of the statements in
each category is (as one might guess) true, half true or a total lie. For
example:
Question:
Queen Elizabeth II once misplaced the Koh-i-noor Diamond, the second
largest diamond in the world. Luckily, a chambermaid found it in a bathtub.
Answer:
It is half-true! The Koh-i-noor Diamond is part of the royal crown
jewels, but the Queen never misplaced it.
Next up is "Odd Couples." The show challenges players to match
seemingly unlikely couples to figure out if they have anything in common by
guessing one of them, both of them or neither of them. For example:
Questions:
1. Dropped out of school: Paris Hilton or Bill Gates?
2. Had a tattoo on his bicep -- Mr. Clean or Mr. Rogers?
Answers:
1. Both! Paris Hilton and Bill Gates are school dropouts.
2. Neither! Mr. Rogers and Mr. Clean never sported arm ink.
"These games are the next installments in an aggressive slate of new
Buzztime programming planned for 2008. "Odd Couples" and "True, Half-True
... or a Total Lie" are irreverent, funny and unique, and we hope our
players have as much fun playing them as we had creating them," said Jake
Tauber, Buzztime's Executive Vice President of Content and Marketing.
Played on televisions in each Buzztime subscriber location, the
Buzztime network features original programming including predictive sports
games, multiple genres of trivia games and casino-style card games. Like
all Buzztime games, "True, Half True ... or a Total Lie" and "Odd Couples"
are free to play. They will air on Thursday nights beginning April 24, with
encore presentations throughout the week.

That's their example of a half truth? A half truth would be if the Queen lost it, but the chambermaid never found it!Bob Juch wrote:In "True, Half-True ... or a Total Lie," players are challenged to

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
