BioWare Launches Facebook Game “Gift of the Yeti”

BioWare also plans to donate up to $10,000 to the charity called the Child’s Play, a non-profit organization committed to distributing gifts among the children in need during the holiday season.

The gamers who will play this new game will avail $10 discount on the purchase of dark fantasy game “Dragon Age: Origins”.

The “Gift of the Yeti” is simple yet filled with fast-paced fun that will appeal to people of all ages.

“Gift of the Yeti”—the Santa game
In the game, player gets a chance to help the sick Santa distribute holiday gifts on his behalf. By clicking the mouse across the map, player can deliver gifts in the houses, in order to get high scores and, of course, to save the Christmas.

Players can compete with their friends on the Facebook for high scores. The story unfolds cleverly and mysteriously to keep the players hooked on to the game, revealing something new every time one plays.

The game also allows the player to choose the kind of gift he/she wants to send to invite their friends in saving the day for Santa.

"Gift of the Yeti is BioWare’s digital holiday card to its fans. We use social networking as a powerful tool to connect meaningfully with our tremendous fan community,” said the co-founder of BioWare and the Group General Manager of the RPG/MMO Group at EA, Dr. Ray Muzyka.
