AMA announces the launch of its first iPhone release – IQ Booster World Cup Edition.

Following a successful worldwide launch on operator’s game and application decks in 2006 as “IQ Booster”, IQ Booster World Cup Edition is AMA’s debut on Apple’s AppStore, an interactive IQ game which includes five separate activities and a ranking feature. The IQ Test alone has 30 randomly selected questions pulled from the game’s extensive integrated library, covering three levels of difficulty split across 10 topics amongst which are mathematics, cryptograms, linguistic, exclusions and others.

IQ Booster World Cup Edition is hosted by two characters, the robots I and Q, accompanying the player through each of the challenges such as the genial Brain Strain level, using light humour and commentary as they progress through the game. At each new game, a fresh set of questions is retrieved, ensuring no repeats as you play again.

An especially unique and fun activity is the Challenge level whereby the player plays against a friend in a timed IQ duel match. Another innovative feature is its World Ranking option, enabling pole positioning on a web connected leader board, complete with geographic localization. All can now compete for their ranking either per country, or on an international ranking board!

“We continuously strive to deliver not only unique and interesting content to the user, but also subjects which stimulate and entertain. IQ Booster on mobile is one of our flagship products therefore it made sense for us to debut the title on the iPhone. We’re looking forward to launching an extensive and diverse catalogue of iPhone and iPod Touch products to our vast portfolio of releases”, says Christian Guillemot, Director and Founder of AMA.
