MURRIETA, Calif., Nov. 30, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Left Behind Games Inc. (OTCBB:LFBG), dba Inspired Media Entertainment, a leading publisher of Christian video games, announced that it has held Video-Game-Night events at two Chick-fil-A(R) restaurants in the Temecula/Murrieta, California area. Another event is scheduled for December 8th at the Chick-fil-A(R) restaurant in Murrieta. These have coincided with Chick-fil-A's(R) family night offers for one free child's meal with the purchase of an adult meal. According to Lori Powell, Manager of the Chick-fil-A(R) restaurant in Murrieta, California, the Video-Game-Night Event on Nov 10th brought their location more customers and revenue than the "Operation Christmas Child" event held there the previous week.
Inspired Media currently publishes six games including three Charlie Church Mouse games; one each for pre-school, kindergarten and early elementary children; Keys of the Kingdom for all ages, LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces and LEFT BEHIND: Tribulation Forces. The company's original game LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces was the most widely distributed Christian PC game in history.
At Video-Game-Night Events, four laptops are set up; three with the Charlie Church Mouse Games and one with Keys of the Kingdom. Customers are given a flyer with a coupon which offers a 20% discount when they purchase one of the games at the nearby Berean Christian Store, which is part of an 18-store chain in states from California to Pennsylvania. As a result of the success of the Video-Game-Night events, the head buyer for Berean confirmed that he has placed an order with his distributor for more than four hundred games.
CEO Troy Lyndon states, "With the success of the promotional events being held in our vicinity, we anticipate they will be incorporated as a marketing strategy to be utilized in many of the 1,400 Chick-fil-A(R) restaurants nationwide as well as other chain outlets."
