WorldWinner in cooperation with FremantleMedia Enterprises, the owners of the Family Feud license, just launched a new cash prize game, Family Feud. Now you can play Family Feud like they do on TV, for money. Players can play against other players online for cash and prizes.

Family Feud is played a bit different than it is on the TV. The online game slowly reveals letters to a word and when you know what the word is you type in the word.

“By integrating celebrated television brands with world-class online
cash competitions, we’re providing game show fans with a new way to
enjoy their favorite classic game shows and casual gamers with a growing
selection of entertaining game titles,” said Peter Blacklow, president
of WorldWinner. “Now, Family Feud fans who like to match wits with the
game show contestants can prove their skill amongst friends, family and
thousands of willing competitors on WorldWinner.com.”

Newton, Mass. - October 1, 2007 -WorldWinner today unveiled an online
cash competition version of Family Feud, available now at
WorldWinner.com. Through a partnership with FremantleMedia Enterprises
(FME), licensor of Family Feud, WorldWinner created a skill-based,
single-player version of the legendary television game show, in which
players can compete against others online for cash and prizes.
WorldWinner is a subsidiary of FUN Technologies Inc. (TSX:FUN) (AIM:FUN)
and the leading provider of online game competitions for cash and
prizes.

“By integrating celebrated television brands with world-class online
cash competitions, we’re providing game show fans with a new way to
enjoy their favorite classic game shows and casual gamers with a growing
selection of entertaining game titles,” said Peter Blacklow, president
of WorldWinner. “Now, Family Feud fans who like to match wits with the
game show contestants can prove their skill amongst friends, family and
thousands of willing competitors on WorldWinner.com.”

Jason Turner, director of Interactive, FremantleMedia’s North American
licensing team, added, “Family Feud is one of the most popular game
shows of all-time and its format lends itself perfectly to the online
and casual gaming universe. This continues to be an area where we look
to extend all of our game show brands, and WorldWinner’s version of
Family Feud is sure to be a hit.”

In conjunction with the game launch, WorldWinner today will unveil a new
television campaign promoting its Family Feud game. Developed by
Boston-based advertising agency Almighty, the two 15 second spots
humorously convey that for the first time, Family Feud fans can play
their favorite game show against others online for cash and prizes. The
spots will air during first-run episodes of Family Feud in several major
markets, including Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia and Los
Angeles. Additionally, they will run on GSN (Game Show Network)
nationwide during regular programming, including reruns of classic
Family Feud.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Family Feud sets families against each
other in a competition to identify the most popular answers to a
survey-type question asked of 100 people. The online cash competition
version of Family Feud lets players test their intuition and knowledge
by gradually revealing answers one letter at a time and allowing
participants to type in an answer once they identify it.

The cash version of Family Feud is available to players exclusively on
WorldWinner.com and its partner sites, including AOL Games, GSN, MSN
Games and Pogo.com.

Family Feud is produced by FremantleMedia North America, a division of
FremantleMedia.
