EXPLODE WORK BOREDOM WITH "ATOMICA"
Zone.com’s new game provides fun, free stress relief
Don’t go nuclear at work. Take a break, play a game. "Atomica," the Zone’s
latest single-player game, equips office workers with the perfect formula
for refocusing during the day: easy access to a mental break. Millions of
Zone visitors have already discovered the benefit of taking a break from the
daily grind and the site dispenses over 2 million cumulative hours of game
play per day across its breadth of games. As evidence of America’s desire
for a quick distraction at work, the Zone’s casual gaming audience peaks
during work hours with the highest number of simultaneous players around the
West Coast lunch hour.
The Zone’s newest game, "Atomica," detonates stubborn mid-day mental blocks
with an injection of workplace fun. "Atomica" challenges players to move
atoms of the same color across the board to form blocks of four. These
blocks, or molecules, disappear when complete, clearing space on the board
for the formation of new molecules. But watch out! Each time an atom is
moved without forming a molecule, extra atoms appear, making the challenge
of clearing the board increasing difficult.
A full game of "Atomica" is easily played in less than five minutes. Three
skill levels provide a challenge for expert puzzlers, or a user-friendly
introduction for players logging on for the first time. An optional time
trial allows gamers on a time budget or in need of a more powerful mental
distraction to play a shorter, more intense round as they attempt to solve
the molecular brainteaser and race the clock. "Atomica" is brought to you
by the creators of "Bejeweled," currently the Zone’s no. 1 game with over
1.5 million players a month, and is found exclusively on the Zone at
