Richmond, BC - (October 13, 2008) – The great sense of humor from the team at Griddly Games has been packaged with smart acting strategy in the company’s latest game release, Wise Alec™.

Wise Alec is the new game that plays to any crowd. Featuring a hilarious demonstration of trivia, tongue twisters, and sassy social strategy, Wise Alec picks up on players’ clever choices, good manners, and a little luck to find the wisest owl on any family game night.

Reisa Schwartzman , president and founder of Griddly Games, said. “We are so pleased to have Wise Alec ready in time for all of upcoming family gatherings and holiday season. The unique elements of Wise Alec, like offering a choice of two levels of difficulty on every turn, and using positive health and lifestyle habits, make the game ideal for multi-generation game play.”

Playing Wise Alec (MSRP $24.99, for 2-6 players ages 8 and up) opponents have a chance for making wise choices before, during, and after the game. On each turn, players try to earn points as they move around the board answering questions in three different categories. Each question offers a choice of an easy or more difficult question. Players can use their strengths for maximum or minimum risk and reward, but when a player lands on a Wise Alec card though, the fun really begins.

A former educator, Schwartzman explains, “Since we created Wise Alec as a total forum for demonstrating how a great game can bring people together in wholesome fun, we incorporated positive lifestyle habits and encouraged good manners throughout the game.” For example, Wise Alec includes some riddles and mental challenges, but it also allows advancements or deductions for poor etiquette, like burping in public and losing 2 points, or healthy fitness abilities, like doing push ups for extra points.

“When families play the game on a regular basis, maybe everyone will think twice about holding the door for someone or eating a piece of fruit instead of a candy bar,“ Schwartzman said. “Wise Alec provides fun, interesting knowledge, and fun facts, while also promoting some healthy habits, choices and activities that can continue in-between rounds of the game.”

Wise Alec is a slight departure from the current core of Griddly Games’ Griddly Headz sports themed games that include the top selling Griddly Headz NASCAR® Racing Game, Griddly Headz Baseball, Griddly Headz Hockey, and Griddly Headz Football.
