Brain Chain Price Reduced for Holiday Season!

Brain Chain Games, Inc. announced that Brain Chain's official price (the price the game is sold for on its own website) will be reduced for the 2006 holiday season. Brain Chain will now be sold for $34.95 through December 31, 2006 at which time the price may return to its typical $36.95. Brain Chain's retailing partners may continue to sell the game at their current price point.

Brain Chain's inclusion in GAMES Magazine's Top 100 List has seen Brain Chain's sales measure significantly higher and its hits skyrocket. Additionally, a number of articles has gained Brain Chain added publicity and our fans and customers have been terrific. We came to the decision to lower the price as a small gesture of appreciation to you all for making this a banner year for Brain Chain!

Luck is helpful. . . Knowledge is Important . . . Strategy is Crucial.

Brain Chain will soon be sold at Biffley's!

Biffley's will be carrying Brain Chain in the near future!

Robert Stout and Jona Brown are a husband and wife team that owns and runs Biffley's, a retail business located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Stout and Brown started in 1994 with just a handful of products and now Biffley's has well over 1,300 games to choose from. They are not some huge faceless company with several distribution centers. Biffley's is a small business that is committed to great service.

Many of the games Biffley's carries have been played by Brown and Stout, their kids and their friends. Many have been recommended to them and all of the game companies they use are reputable. Please visit Biffley's to acquire any game, even if it is not Brain Chain. These are good people who stand behind their products and provide unparalleled service.

We are honored and proud to have Brain Chain distributed by Biffley's!

Brain Chain Challenge: Oddball Questions

Brain Chain includes well over 3,000 questions and answers in eight different categories. Many of our customers tell us that the "Oddball" category is their favorite. Oddball questions require players to determine what three items have in common and pick out the "Oddball" -- much like the old Electric Company television show game -- except more challenging, and often, funnier!

For those of you who have not yet played Brain Chain, here are a few examples to get you started:

Question 1: Teddy Bear, Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, Yesterday?
Question 2: Leonardo DiCaprio, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane?
Question 3: Date, Malibu, Palm, Venice?
Question 4: Crash Davis, John Dunbar, Wyatt Earp, George C. Scott?

Ready for the answers?
Answer 1: Yesterday was not an Elvis Presley song [title]
Answer 2: Susan Sarandon because she was not in [the 1997 movie] Titanic
Answer 3: Date is correct because is not the name of a [famous] beach
Answer 4: Geoge C. Scott was not the name of a character played by Kevin Costner.

Got the idea? In the future, we will be offering prizes for the fastest and most accurate set of correct answers, but this one will be just for fun to get everyone used to the "Oddball" format. The rest of our quizzes will then include questions from any of our trivia categories: Business, Entertainment, Geography, History, Potluck, Science, Sports . . . and, of course, Oddball.

Good luck and good knowledge!
