Aleken Games Rocks Music Fans In Canada

August 25, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
Genesee Depot, WI - Music trivia game maker Aleken Games is Rocking music fans across Canada 365 days of the year with its new calendars, THE DAYS THAT ROCK 2007 and THE DAYS OF COUNTRY 2007.

Aleken Games, the music trivia leader in the U.S. with its ROCK AND ROLL TRIVIOLOGIES and COUNTRY MUSIC TRIVIOLOGIES board games and card games, is giving music fans across Canada a chance to test their Rock and Roll and Country music IQ 365 days of the year.

The daily boxed calendars are filled with fun trivia, birthdays, famous events, brain-busters and more from all your favorite Rock and Roll and Country music stars past and present.

Although Aleken Games is a U.S. based company located in Waukesha, WI (known for being the birthplace of guitar and music legend Les Paul), the new calendars include all of the Canadian holidays as well as being loaded with trivia about all of the great Canadian Rock and Roll and Country music stars.

According to Aleken Games President Ken Eichstaedt, the decision to include Canadian musicians and Canadian national holidays in the new calendars was very easy. “From the first day we launched our ROCK AND ROLL TRIVIOLOGIES game in 2003, music fans in Canada swamped us with phone calls and inquiries on how to get the game,” Eichstaedt explained. “The same thing happened when we launched the Country edition in 2005.”

Both the Rock game and Country game are loaded with Canadian artists including Nickelback, Rush, B.T.O., Alanis Morissette, Joni Mitchell, Shania Twain, Terri Clark, George Canyon, Hank Snow and many more. “The number of Canadian Rock and Country artists in our music trivia games was so substantial that we had to make our new calendars available throughout Canada,” Eichstaedt said.

Music fans can learn more about Aleken Games products by visiting the company website at www.gamesthatrock.com. “Our website is not only very informative about our products, but it also features new Rock and Roll and Country music trivia questions everyday,” said Eichstaedt.

Aleken Games products are distributed in Canada by Stortz and Associates, a toy and game distributor based in Waterloo, ON. For more information, visit www.stortz.ca
