Disney Interactive Launches Online SPY KIDS Challenge Contest Based on the Upcoming Feature Film SPY KIDS 2: The Island of Lost Dreams

Kids Can Play Games and Collect Clues to Win Game Boy ® Advance and CD-ROM Products Based on the Film

Disney Interactive, a leading worldwide creator and publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced the launch of the SPY KIDS(TM) Challenge, an interactive, online contest that puts kids on a mission to find clues that will help them become top scorers in four games inspired by Dimension Films' upcoming feature film SPY KIDS(TM) 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, in theaters Aug. 7, directed by Robert Rodriguez and starring Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara. Disney Interactive will award 1,000 players who reach ultimate spy status online with SPY KIDS(TM): Challenger for Game Boy ® Advance or SPY KIDS(TM): Mega Mission Zone for Windows ® 95/98/ME and Macintosh ®, which hit Store shelves in August 2002. Published by Disney Interactive, both games were developed in conjunction with Dimension Interactive and Troublemaker Studios.

To test their spy skills, kids must visit the official Web site of SPY KIDS(TM) 2: The Island of Lost Dreams at www.spykids2.com or www.spykids.com. Once on the Web site, aspiring spies can click on the SPY KIDS(TM) Challenge icon where they will be prompted to play four different interactive online games:

Science Shack -- In this multi-level slider puzzle game, kids are challenged to unscramble images of one of seven characters from the film by sliding pieces around until the proper image is reconstructed.
The Temple -- Kids can ride a hovercraft to the temple, firing elastic wonders and avoiding animal obstacles in a quest for the transmooker.
The Tech Room -- Knobs, levers and screens light up in a pattern that kids must recall and replicate to progress.
The Treasure Room -- After players complete the first three games, the Treasure Room is unlocked. This game of concentration will reveal game hints and codes that kids can use in SPY KIDS(TM): Challenger for Game Boy ® Advance and SPY KIDS(TM): Mega Mission Zone CD-ROM.

As kids play each game, their score will accumulate. At the end of each game, kids must submit their scores to qualify for the SPY KIDS(TM) Challenge contest. The top 1,000 scorers will receive SPY KIDS(TM): Challenger for Game Boy ® Advance or SPY KIDS(TM): Mega Mission Zone CD-ROM.

During online game play, kids will be prompted to enter codes that will enhance their activities and potentially increase their score. Kids can collect codes through Dimension Films' SPY KIDS(TM) 2: The Island of Lost Dreams promotional materials, as well as on the exterior packaging of SPY KIDS(TM): Challenger for Game Boy ® Advance and SPY KIDS(TM): Mega Mission Zone CD-ROM. In addition, codes can be found on the products, packaging and Web sites of Dimension Films' partners, such as Toys-R-Us, Radisson Hotels & Resorts, Frito-Lay, Inc., McDonald's ®, Tropicana, Isuzu and Colorific. Players can also invite friends into the challenge via e-mail for extra points.

The SPY KIDS(TM) Challenge contest begins July 15, 2002 and ends Sept. 30, 2002.

SPY KIDS(TM): Challenger for Game Boy ® Advance

In SPY KIDS(TM): Challenger for Game Boy ® Advance, our favorite SPY KIDS(TM), Carmen and Juni Cortez, recruit, train and challenge players to become new SPY KIDS(TM) for the OSS Secret Service. As a new recruit, players must score as high as possible in three unique games based on actual missions from SPY KIDS(TM) 2: The Island of Lost Dreams. Kids achieve a higher rank in the OSS as they master each new training challenge.

SPY KIDS(TM): Mega Mission Zone for Windows ® 95/98/ME and Macintosh

Carmen and Juni are on a secret mission to find a new SPY KID recruit to help them protect the world. SPY KIDS(TM): Mega Mission Zone for Windows ® and Macintosh allows kids to travel through action-packed locations from both the original SPY KIDS(TM) AND SPY KIDS(TM) 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, collecting gadgets and completing missions that make spying fun. As kids solve spy conundrums and battle evil, they increase their spy skills and earn powerful OSS clearances.
