Edventure Toys Visits the Champion Program and The Kids Win!

Michelle Conley (Illinois) is a very smart Ambassador! She recently decided to contact her local after school program, called the Champion’s Program to introduce the youngsters to Professor Brainstorm!

The program services Woodland School in Gages Lake, Illinois, giving their students somewhere to go after the school day ends. When Michelle first approached the director about coming out and playing with the students, the response was positive, but there were too many children! Michelle quickly decided to host three events and visit each site separately.

What to bring? Michelle e-mailed Ilyse Brainin and soon she was online purchasing product to sell and inviting Ilyse to present the game to the students! Michelle “bundled” her products (2mats, 2decks) and offered it for $40.00! She also had expansion packs on hand for added fun!

Michelle also decided not go it alone! She called the person who signed her up, who is also a friend, Jennifer Tunelius ! Together they approached parents as they came to pick up their children, many of them still playing! Michelle or Jennifer made sure to ask the parent to fill out their e-mail information, and show them the products. Michelle collected the parents’ information so she can notify them of up and coming events and touch base with them again when new products or the online world are introduced! - GREAT IDEA! Michelle made about $60.00 an event for about 3 hours of work, while having fun! GREAT JOB!

Here is the feedback from the director of the program!:

Hi Michelle -

From what everyone told the kids loved it. Both sites have been playing it non-stop. The 24th will be good for Elem East. I will let the staff know. If you would like to hand out flyers ahead of time that is fine.

Program Coordinator

Todd Ferguson's Latest Announcements to Founding Ambassadors

Good Morning Everyone!

We at Professor Brainstorm want to thank you for the wonderful notes and success stories we enjoy from you daily! Your efforts have validated our concept, that an enthusiastic introduction to an exciting learning game can wield a powerful influence on children, parents and teachers.

It’s been a grass roots effort from the moment we roughed out our original concept on a napkin. You have been, and are, a key element in the basic thrust of Brainstorm... to help children, ALL children learn.

So, what’s new? I’m pleased to announce that the final and long awaited box art and designs are in the hands of our printer. Two brand new expansion card sets (Kingdom of Terra and Kingdom of Dragonia), are also complete including over 100 new characters, locations and items. You’re going to love it! The art detail and style is absolutely spectacular. Mike Maurino has outdone himself! Every test group has gone crazy!

Certainly it would have been easier to rush this process, but inventions are a funny thing. They don’t always behave. Our dreams dictate that if Brainstorm is done correctly, the transmedia effects (multi-platform/media) will help thousands of children to learn; easily, inexpensively and enjoyably.

It’s been a very busy few months for us at Professor Brainstorm. Have you seen your new ET website?! The Professor Brainstorm website is also being updated as well, a much needed upgrade several weeks away! We will continue to update with additions forever!

We took some time away from inventing new worlds to visit and support quite a few Edventure Toys local events. We saw the same thing at every event, kids falling in love with the product, and parents’ eager to purchase a new concept in education… a challenging game that promotes learning. As many have reported, these 10-50 person events are extremely effective and productive in spreading the Professor Brainstorm message.

As I write this bulletin today, our LA team is working out final details for our Professor Brainstorm Academy sponsored tournament play. This will be a wonderful way for every Ambassador to host larger, more profitable educational events. Children/Participants will be ranked and given educational and financial rewards for winning these tournaments. To add drama and excitement to the coming announcement of tournament play, it will take place at the same time as our beta launch of Brainstormland, our highly anticipated online world!

What is BRAINSTORMLAND? (codename)

Literally millions of children visit online social flash gaming sights such as ‘Club Penguin and Webkins’ on a daily basis. Their only reward for logging on is that they become adept at playing games having little or no educational value.

In BRAINSTORMLAND kids will play great, ever-evolving games while learning to spell, do math and more. Furthermore, our amazing new-concept flash game technology will appeal instantly to kids yearning for a quest enhanced 3-D experience. With features they cannot find in Club Penguin/Webkins style social worlds. Our architecture will lead them to earning energems, Brainstormland’s currency in the online world.

Brainstormland has been graphically developed by our Brainstorm Studios Group in LA to parallel the success of industry giants like World of Warcraft, Everquest, and others, but with a key advantage. While others require downloading of programs and other distractions, Brainstormland’s 3-D immersive flash based invention allows any child, with a web browser to immediately access our friendly world. Nothing to install, just login, play and learn.

AFFILIATE PROGRAM: In addition to the earning potential of the Edventure Toys model. Our new backend coding of Brainstormland has built in links for PB's affiliate referral program. That means getting paid %’s from paying users linked to you.

BETA: We will be looking for kids to join our online beta launch (only a few weeks away). We would LOVE to have the children of our loyal ET ambassadors have the first chance to access Brainstormland. So, in the coming weeks, we will send out codes and invitations to all of our founding ambassadors. Please login yourself. Get your kids involved, and make sure all of their friends use your code for extra free energems, linking them to YOU!

Additional, more detailed updates will be released very soon. Meanwhile, if you have questions, please feel free to drop me a note.

My sincerest thanks!

Todd Ferguson
