Fishlabs and American ExpressTM launch CASH IQ

Fishlabs and American Express today announced the launch of CASH IQ, a free iPhone game featuring four addictive and challenging puzzle and brain training games: „Money in the Bank‟, „Check Your Balance‟, „Memory Recall‟ and „Flip & Pin‟.

Money in the Bank

Coins of various denominations drop from the top of the screen into a piggybank. Some of the coins drop out of the bottom of the piggybank, with the player being challenged to correctly state the amount remaining inside the piggybank in a limited amount of time to enter their guess.

Check Your Balance

Players must place all of the shopping bags on the seesaw, ensuring that when it finally rests it is balanced completely evenly. Each bag is corresponding to the variety of items that Platinum Cashback Cardmembers tend to spend their annual cashback on.

Memory Recall

A classic memory game, Memory Recall features a conveyor belt that moves a selection of items across the screen in sequence. Players must tap to select each of the items from the grid in the correct order.

Flip & Pin

Players must flip different shaped tiles around a 12 x 12 grid, and cover the highlighted areas completely. As difficulty builds the areas and shapes come larger and more complex. At the end of the level bonuses are given for the least number of movements.

Players can choose between three gameplay modes: „Classic‟ mode randomly selects three of the mini-games. „Brain strain‟ tests the player by giving them one minute to complete each of the mini-games in an attempt to gain the highest score. „Training‟ lets the player select and play any of the mini games individually.

Using Facebook Connect, CASH IQ players can challenge their friends all over the world to beat their high scores.
