Columbus, OH (March, 2010) - AccountingWEB, the leading online media company for accountants, is excited to announce that innovation, fun, and accounting have collided on the site to create The Accurate Accountant Game. The Accurate Accountant Game is the only online first-person quiz shooter game designed for accountants to test their knowledge and reward them with the chance to hurl several interesting projectiles at the targets of their affection/rage.
The game begins by prompting players to choose three targets deserving of an eventual pummeling. The targets range from former presidents, a disgraced baseball player, and a famous pop superstar. "It's tax season and we thought our readers needed something to keep them sharp while having a good time. Plus, who wouldn't want the chance to throw a couple of tomatoes at Bernie Madoff," commented AccountingWEB Publisher Rob Nance.
After users choose their infamous targets, they have the chance to earn points to spend at the ammo store. They'll have to pick between two quizzes. The first is The Sarbanes-Oxley Challenge, and the other is The Government and IRS Challenge. After completing the quiz, players can spend their points and buy tomatoes, water balloons, or a fainting goat to hurl at the targets they picked earlier.
Besides being the most fun an accountant will have this year, there are great prizes on the line from AccountingWEB. Ten first place winners will receive a $100 gift card, and 10 second place winners will get an AccountingWEB hat. Here's the link: http://www.accountingweb.com/games/target-game. Take aim for your chance to win.
