UBISOFT AND CRANIUM, INC. UNVEIL CRANIUM KABOOKII VIDEO GAME FOR Wii
Wildly Popular Game Brand Makes Its Interactive Debut in December
Ubisoft, one of the worlds largest video game publishers, announce an agreement with Cranium, Inc., five-time Toy Industry
Association T.O.T.Y. Game of the Year winner, to create a Cranium video game for the Wii home video game system from Nintendo.
Designed specifically for Wii by Ubisofts development studios, Cranium Kabookii will be one of the richest Wii gaming experiences to date, bringing friends and family together through an interactive family party experience with something for everyone. Cranium Kabookii debuts worldwide December 2007.
Cranium has set itself apart by creating award-winning games that celebrate natural talents in a way that connects people through laughter and play, said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. This kind of experience is exactly what we want to provide with our Games for Everyone line, and we are pleased to partner with Cranium, Inc., who for nearly a decade, have proven themselves the experts in creating unique enduring experiences for friends and family.
Cranium Kabookii brings a new dimension to Wii play by celebrating the amazing things friends and family can do as they create, perform, discover and connect with one another. Using the Wii Remote and special Kabookii Decoder Glasses, Cranium Kabookii changes the television screen into a living canvas where teams jam, draw, act, puzzle and even crack codes to win.

Kabookii Decoder Glasses add an extra twist, allowing one player at a time to view hidden clues on the screen.
