Press Release Summary: Playyoo Game Contest Offers Approximately $25,000 USD in Cash
Prizes and Provides a Global Stage for Japan's Leading Flash Lite Developer
Community

Press Release Body: London, December 17, 2007 - Playyoo, a social networking
platform for creating and sharing mobile casual games, today called on Japan's Adobe
Flash Lite community to enter their mobile game creations in the Playyoo Game
Contest. Offering more than $25,000 USD in cash prizes, the contest is open to
independent mobile game developers using Adobe Flash Lite technology.

Prizes include first, second, and third place awards of $10,000, $7,000, and $3,000
respectively. In line with Playyoo's community-centric philosophy, winners will be
selected by Playyoo members and prizes will be awarded to the most popular games
based on download statistics and community ratings as of February 28, 2008. Winning
games will be announced and showcased on www.playyoo.com.

"Japan has led the world in terms of Flash Lite adoption and development. Over 85%
of all handsets shipping in Japan are Flash enabled and there is a well-established
community of experienced and creative Flash Lite developers," said Chris Pelly, CEO
of Playyoo. "The Playyoo platform, along with the Playyoo Game Contest, provides
these developers with a global outlet to showcase their talents."

"Although the contest officially ends on February 28, it's important for developers
to submit their games early. Since the winners of the Playyoo Game Contest are based
on community ratings, making games available to Playyoo members early on puts a
developer in the best position to build a following and take home one of the
prizes," added Thomas N. Burg, Community Evangelist at Playyoo.

An additional $15,000 in cash prizes is available to members of regional Flash Lite
User Groups. User Group members who enter the Playyoo Game Contest will
automatically be submitted to the 2007 Flash Lite Game Contest for their regional
section (Americas, Europe and Africa, Asia Pacific). Winners will be selected by a
panel of judges comprised of representatives from Playyoo and Adobe, as well as
leading Flash Lite game developers worldwide.

Officially launching to the public in January, Playyoo brings together developers
and users of mobile casual games-entwined in a rich social network that promotes
self-expression and social interaction. The platform is designed to encourage the
widespread use of casual mobile games with its powerful combination of free games,
user-generated content, social interaction, and personal expression within a
worldwide community. The January launch will feature key innovations in the mobile
casual game arena, including: easy game discovery and downloads, easy-to-use game
creation tools, and social networking features.

Playyoo supports Flash Lite games developed with Adobe Flash® Professional, version
8 or higher (CS3 recommended), along with the Playyoo Flash Extension. The Playyoo
Flash Extension is a downloadable executable used to initiate the creation of a
Playyoo game. It adds libraries which the Playyoo server uses to add social
features, as well as pre-roll and post-roll advertising. Using existing Flash Lite
games can be as easy as copy /paste.

Complete details on the Playyoo Game Contest-including rules, technical
instructions, and upload management-can be found at the Playyoo website,
www.playyoo.com. Members of Flash Lite user groups can check out the 2007 Flash Lite
Game Contest, sponsored by Playyoo at www.mobilecontest.org.


About Playyoo

play of mobile casual games. Today, only a small proportion of mobile phone users

broad selection of easy-to-find, free games, created by members of its community,
along with the fun experience of social interaction, all on a single platform.
Playyoo will generate revenues by providing relevant advertising and other marketing
