Encleverment Experiment, an Avatar™-supported original title for 1-4 players, is a fun and challenging “battle of wits” hosted by the eccentric Professor Ivor Question in his funky laboratory. Players get to test their memory, reflexes, and dexterity responding to rapid-fire questions with multiple answers to choose among. The game’s questions range from easy (for gamers starting age 5) to difficult (for adult gamers) making Encleverment Experiment a great game for children, teens, and adults playing alone or in groups, and it’s an ideal game for families to play together.
Response time and accuracy are rewarded with Noodles, the in-game currency. The game’s challenge is to accumulate Noodles, but out-braining your friends and family is great fun, too.
16 Fun Mini-games and Puzzles
Encleverment Experiment offers 16 fun and mind-challenging mini-games and puzzles including:
• Griddled (find the only word in a word search-style grid);
• Copy Cat (remember the sequence of new eye colors every time the cat blinks);
• Semi-Vinyls (piece together broken records like a jigsaw puzzle);
• Stepping Tones (match sounds to colors); and
• Oddest One Out (identify which one of four patterns just doesn’t “fit”).
Each mini-game offers four levels of difficulty to cater for gamers of all ages and ability.
Single- and Multiple-player Modes of Gameplay
Single Mode lets individual players take the Professor’s five-round tests in mathematics, pattern recognition, reactions, and memory. They can battle against one of 15 AI opponents at a time with each victory unlocking the next, more skilful contestant.
Game Show Mode lets 1-4 gamers play mini-games, answer randomly generated quizzes, or design their own “Home-made Games” up to 30 rounds long. The last round is always the “Score Stealer Game” – the first person to answer correctly gets to steal points from the fellow contestant of choice.
Winners are rewarded with Noodles which are used to purchase up to 60 collectible Mascots to show off their gaming prowess.
Encleverment Experiment is rated “E” for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Review Board, and all in-game content is safe for children to enjoy.
Players can buy Encleverment Experiment for 800 MS points from November 11th onwards.
