8th May 2007. Brighton, UK. Relentless Software, aka 'the masters of social gaming', according to Eurogamer.net*, today announced a move into stylish and spacious new offices in central Brighton.

Andrew Eades, Development Director of Relentless commented, "The new building offers us great space in a great location. We're in the heart of Brighton which is really important to all our staff - the views from the top floor balcony are spectacular." He continued, "We firmly believe in providing an enjoyable working environment that is focused on productivity within a 9-5 day. To date we've proved this works and that great, successful games can be made without a crunch."
David Amor, Creative Director added, "We intend to be in the new offices for some time to come - we're looking to expand gradually and build on the reputation we've gained for producing innovative and social games."
Additionally the studio continues work on its innovative Buzz!: The Schools Quiz based on Key Stage 2 curriculum and designed for use at home and in schools as a enjoyable learning tool for 6-11 year olds.
