Squarz Launches in Chicago
Squarz combines savings, sweepstakes & sports for all-new online experience
CHICAGO, July 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Squarz is a brand new, totally different way for Chicagoans to win BIG alongside their favorite sports teams. Squarz (http://www.squarz.com) is an all new take on two of America's favorite pastimes - having fun and saving money. Simply buy the daily deal (or square) and you're entered to win the grand prize associated with an upcoming sporting event of local or national interest.
Squarz, launching in its hometown of Chicago with plans to expand nationally, takes the traditional game of "office squares" and turns it on its head with a not-so-traditional twist. So what is this thing? Every day Squarz showcases a deal, similar to other popular group buying sites, but with an added bonus - a chance to win a bigger prize.
Here's where the winning comes into play. When a consumer purchases a deal, he or she also receives a 1-in-100 chance of winning a grand prize - think HD televisions, high-value party packages, iPads and more. The winner of the prize is determined by a sports event, just like in the traditional game of office squares and users can literally watch the stats change live on the board (squares light up when they are in the winning position). The Squarz Board is unique because the winner of each board is determined by the final score, or another pre-designated statistic, and uses a random generator to determine each square's corresponding number prior to game start. Each day Squarz showcases multiple active deals that correspond to upcoming sporting events and there are grand prizes associated with each game.
To date Squarz has offered deals on electronics, dining, pet services and more. Grand prizes have included digital cameras, laptop computers, dining and party vouchers, free pet boarding and others. In a nutshell, Squarz merges sports, sweepstakes and savings into a daily opportunity for players to save big and maybe even win bigger. It's that easy.
"Squarz is a new take on both the traditional game of office squares and on daily deal sites, combining everyone's favorite things - saving, winning and sports," explains Chris Foufas, lifelong Chicagoan, career trader and founder of Squarz. "When I started working on the concept for Squarz I couldn't believe it didn't already exist. It just makes sense."
It's as simple as save, play and win and Squarz walks you through each step in the process during registration. To get started, visit http://www.squarz.com and register today.
About Squarz
Squarz is a fun, new and totally different way to save, play and win. Squarz couldn't be easier to play - simply choose a Squarz Board, pick a square and purchase the deal to enter. Then watch the Squarz board fill up with friends and fans, each with a 1-in-100 chance of winning more than they bargained for. For everyone who doesn't win? They still receive a reward of their own: the savings purchased upon entry. A game you can win, yet will never lose? Some might call it impossible. We call it Squarz. No purchase necessary. Visit http://www.squarz.com for complete rules.
Squarz was founded in 2010 and is a privately held company headquartered in Chicago, IL.
