Big Kahuna Words to be released in stores Merscom and Reflexive team up to release popular word adventure game

Merscom announced today it is forging a partnership with Reflexive Entertainment to release Big Kahuna Words in retail stores. Part of Reflexive’s highly successful Big Kahuna game franchise, Words is scheduled for a March 2007 release. As one of the Web's most popular casual games, Big Kahuna Words was recently nominated for a People's Choice Zeeby Award for Best Word Game at Gamezebo.com.

Featuring more than 100 levels on the CD and many more available for download online, Big Kahuna Words provides limitless amounts of fun and engagement for players of all ages and skill levels. In a major twist on puzzle games, players must form words to break through stones surrounded by hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, and other marine life in order to further their adventure. The game features two different single-player modes—action and relaxed—and a multiplayer “mouse party” feature, where up to 8 players can enjoy Big Kahuna Words on a single computer. Players earn extra points for finding the secret word and unleashing the power of the Tiki Totem.

“We are very excited about this opportunity to be working with Reflexive; they are one of the top casual game developers and we see tremendous value in our relationship. We are particularly excited to bring Big Kahuna Words to a retail audience,” said Lloyd Melnick, Director of Merscom. “It is one of the best word games available and a brilliant franchise; our customers will love it.”
