Created by leading, UK-based, social gaming company Zattikka in conjunction with the Monty Python team, The Ministry of Silly Games draws its inspiration from British TV’s most memorable comedy series in the form of an innovative new social game which enables players to play the world’s most ridiculous games within a Pythonesque virtual world on Facebook.
Games such as Camelot Smashalot, Gumby Flower Arranging and King Arthur's Knight Fight, among many others, take place within the madcap Monty Python virtual world - and will be available to play for free when the game launches in Q1 next year.
Those who can’t wait to play can apply for early access to the public beta by signing up at www.ministryofsillygames.com.

It raised $5.5 million in July to further expand its library, which also includes another famous British brand, Mr. Bean, the first game Mr bean: Out of Control available now on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android mobile devices.
