 | My First Brain Quest by Brain Quest
America's bestselling educational game just got better! Announcing a 1-million-copy, $500,000 advertising and promotion relaunch of Brain Quest, the 14-million-copy phenomenon that now says It's O.K. to Be Smart! RM . Upgraded inside and out with 50 new questions and 100 new packaging, Brain Quest reinvigorates its goal of making learning fun while dazzling kids -- and parents -- with an eye-catching makeover. Leading the relaunch are 12 titles: the core series, Grades 1-7; Early Childhood, including My First, For Threes, Preschool, and Kindergarten; and Brain Quest For The Car. The redesign is sweeping, and features a plastic box printed with a second cover for layering and dimensionality; brighter, jazzier, fresher color palette; updated illustrations; a plastic cap and foot in contrasting colors; fullcolor icons; and a standard trim size for all titles. But that's only half the story. With Brain Quest, the inside always counted most -- its content, comprehensiveness, and unique ability to blend the educational with the pleasurable. Now there's not only 50 new questions, but something far more valuable -- Each title is updated with more current information across the curriculum. Subject matter is broadened, and each revamped grade features more intellectually challenging questions in all subject areas. And an overall balance is struck between questions that kids should be able to answer and questions that will expand their knowledge. To be launched in Spring 1999, it brings Brain Quest -- and It's O.K. to Be Smart! -- into the 21st century. AUTHOR: Brain Quest
