NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In an election year polarized by wealth, race, gender and religion, 2K Play and Comedy Central are proud to launch COMEDY CENTRAL’S Indecision Game, a new app for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android, including Amazon’s Kindle Fire. Designed to add a new wrinkle to the partisan divide: Who’s really smarter – Democrats, Republicans or Independents? – the game is a fast-paced battle of wits where players must out-smart their friends by correctly answering political questions and earning voters to eke out an Election Day victory.

“As the real world race heats up between Obama and Romney, it’s refreshing to play a game where smarts count and ballot peeks, smear campaigns, filibusters and investigative committees are all part of an honest day’s work.”

COMEDY CENTRAL'S Indecision Game is a new app for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android, including Amazon's Kindle Fire.

Gamers select their political affiliation and outfit their avatar by shopping for a range of party-inspired costumes and curiosities – from “COMEDY CENTRAL Donkelphant” trucker hats to “’I See Russia’ specs” to the sporty “O-Bomber” jacket – using “Greenbacks,” the in-game currency. Patriots can even acquire a Statue of Liberty costume, complete with robe, crown and torch. Players then go head-to-head with their opponent to answer humorous, politically-themed questions against a relentless ticking clock.

Correct responses earn players “Voters” that must be strategically placed on the game’s “Big Map” of the United States. State domination results in a “Smarts” victory for both the player and their party. In the heat of the campaign, players can rely on “Political Aides” for help, including stealing a state from opponents or demanding a “Recount”. Real-time results are displayed in the game’s “Election Headquarters” so there will be no hiding which party is the smartest – whether the margin is by a hair or a landslide.

“2K Play is excited to partner with COMEDY CENTRAL to bring COMEDY CENTRAL’s Indecision Game to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android,” said Steve Lux, Vice President of Business Development for 2K Play. “As the real world race heats up between Obama and Romney, it’s refreshing to play a game where smarts count and ballot peeks, smear campaigns, filibusters and investigative committees are all part of an honest day’s work.”
