The Next Turn

Worse things have happened.

“The benefits from partnering with Hasbro are numerous,” Horn urges. “I would do it again…I do not think that I would be further ahead if I had stayed independent. But I negotiated a smart deal that prevented me from getting stuck in an agreement that would lead to a dead end.”

Another of Horn’s smart moves was not to slow down after the initial Hasbro euphoria. A Page-A-Day calendar from Workman Publishing will be released in summer of 2002, joining a humor book already published. A Zobmondo!!™ TV pilot is also now being shopped to various network and cable-TV outlets, and benefited from its association with top names in television production and financing.

The Zobmondo!!™ cell phone version is already available to 15 million European customers. Codelonline Ltd., who also published Who Wants to Be A Millionaire and Trivial Pursuit, is responsible for Zobmondo Wireless, available through a partnership with Motorola in the UK and Finland. It is expected to land stateside in late summer.

Maybe Randy Horn’s next game will be Zobmondo!!™: The Evolution Edition, wherein some uncomfortable event actually happens to your character, and your course of play changes based on your ability to adapt to it. From that point on the questions could either get harder or easier.

It’s doubtful whether such a game would be feasible, or enjoyable, but it will be interesting to see if the questions get easier or harder for Randy Horn. Based on the ingenuity of Zobmondo!!™ and Horn’s tenacious, enterprising spirit, we’d have to guess easier.
