New Delhi, Oct. 9 Jump Games, the publisher and developer of mobile games, has launched Manchester United WORD IT! — a game dedicated to one of the world’s favourite football club.

The company, a part of Reliance Big Entertainment, had signed an exclusive global deal with the football club in February this year to design, develop and distribute mobile games with Manchester United.

The game will be available across all major GSM and CDMA operators in the country and is priced at between Rs 50-100 for one-time download and Rs 10 for a pay-per-play session.

Jump Games will soon also make it available to Blackberry and Smart phone owners.

Word game

“India has a huge fan base for Manchester United and this trivia-based game allows them to connect with their favourite club. The first in the series, Manchester United WORD IT! will be followed by more exciting games based on the football club,” said Mr Salil Bhargava, CEO of Jump Games, in a statement announcing the launch.

It is a simple, casual title where the player needs to identify terms related to Manchester United Football Club in a grid of alphabets, and comes in five modes for variety, says the company.

The Manchester United-based games developed by Jump Games will be available on about 80 networks across 40 countries.
