QuizQuizQuiz Haiti appeal

January 17, 2010 1 comment

Along with the rest of the world we were very saddened by the amount of devastation in Haiti and hoped we could in some small way contribute to the funds used to help with the recovery effort.

From Sunday 17th January till Sunday 24th January ALL revenues we receive for QuizQuizQuiz in the US / Canada will be donated to the DEC Haiti Appeal.

We’re also taking part in Indie Relief on the 20th January which will see us and over 100 other indie developers donate their entire revenue for the day to charities (again we’ll donate this to the Haiti Appeal).
