Techno Source's Guess What I Am!™ Awarded by the Parents Choice Foundation
November 18, 2008 — Techno Source today announced Guess What I Am! as a recipient of the Parents' Choice Award by the Parents' Choice Foundation.
The Parents' Choice Award, the nation's oldest nonprofit program created to recognize quality children's media, is designed to help parents and caregivers of all achievements and backgrounds make informed decisions about which new products are right for their children. The Parents' Choice Awards program honors the best material for children: books, toys, music and storytelling, magazines, software, videogames, television and websites. Parents' Choice Foundation's panels of educators, scientists, performing artists, librarians, parents and kids themselves, identify the very best products for children of different ages and backgrounds, and of varied skill and interest levels.
Only a small percentage of items submitted to the Parents' Choice Awards™ program receive a commendation in one of the six award levels: Classic, Gold, Silver, Recommended, Approved, and Fun Stuff; underscoring the influential and celebrated achievement of being honored with a commendation from the Parents' Choice Awards program.
"We are so pleased to be honored with the Parents' Choice Award," said Eric Levin, President of Techno Source. "Winning this award proves that Guess What I Am! is a game the whole family will enjoy; regardless of their age, background, skill or interest level. That's exactly what we were hoping for when we developed the game."
Guess What I Am! is a tabletop game that puts a hilarious new twist on a classic guessing game. Place your face through the space of the mystery card, transform into one of 30 silly characters, and let the guessing begin. Roll the die to ask yes or no questions like "Do I play sports?" or "Do I have fur?" to narrow down the list of possible characters. The game's guessing exercises encourage role play and also help develop deductive reasoning skills. Keep track on the tally pad and cross off the characters to figure out who you are. First player to guess correctly wins. It features four games in one and is simple enough for kids to play alone or with their friends. Ages 3+; $17.99; available now at major retailers nationwide.
This is the fifth toy award Guess What I Am! has received this holiday season. More information on Guess What I Am! and a complete list of all awards can be found on www.guesswhatiamgame.com.
