FreeRide Games® Key Messages
· FreeRide Games is the only casual games destination site that invites consumers to download and play more than 400 premium full-version games for as long as they want for free.
· Exent launched freeridegames.com in October 2008 and it remains the only web site of its kind. Since the US launch of the site, FreeRide Games has expanded to the UK, Australia, Germany, Spain, and France and provides a localized experience in each of those territories.
· FreeRide Games offers a variety of games ranging from Hidden Object, Match Three, Time Management and Puzzle to Arcade, Card and Sports. Popular games include the famous Jewel Quest, Diner Dash, Cake Mania and Build a Lot series, among others. Most of the games offered on freeridegames.com are not available for free on competitive websites. FreeRide Games monetizes gameplay through an ad-supported model so that gamers get the benefit of free play.
· The ad-supported play on freeridegames.com is made possible with GameFrame®, Exent’s proprietary, patented technology which allows for the placement of standard IAB ads around full-screen games. Due to the extended engagement of gamers playing full-version casual games, GameFrame provides higher quantity and quality of ad inventory.
· FreeRide Games also includes unique features that allow players to chat, get game tips and search the Web, all within a full screen environment. The games are automatically paused during these activities to minimize the interruption to game play.
