New York – November 15, 2011 – Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) Media™, North America’s largest volunteer parent testing community with more than 40,000 independent parent volunteers, has awarded Techno Source’s Tetris® Link™ the PTPA Seal of Approval. The PTPA Seal is recognized internationally as a leader in certifying consumer products for quality, effectiveness and value.

“At PTPA Media, we are proud to play a role in certifying innovative products that families can trust,” says Sharon Vinderine, CEO and founder of PTPA Media Inc. “When consumers search for our Seal of Approval on product packaging and web sites, they are essentially searching for validation from their peers. Their peers will have objectively tested and approved these products based on their performance in a real life environment. That type of resource for families is priceless.”

Independent parent volunteers evaluate these products in their own homes and PTPA winners are chosen based on merit and consumer experience – not on commercial considerations.

After testing Tetris Link, PTPA parent reviewers had the following feedback to share:







The Tetris Link game begins as players take turns rolling the die and dropping Tetriminos (iconic Tetris playing pieces) into the game tower. The object of the game is to link Tetriminos of the same color to score points while blocking opponents from scoring. But, be careful! Players can lose points for any holes left in the game tower. Points are tracked in real-time with built-in scorers. When the tower is full, the player with the highest score wins the game. It is easy enough for younger kids to learn, while still challenging for seasoned strategists. The tabletop game promotes strategic thinking and organizational skills. Play time: 15-20 minutes.

Perfect for two to four players, Tetris Link includes the game tower, 100 playing pieces in four colors, playing die and instructions. Recommended for those ages 6 to adult, Tetris Link is now available for purchase at major and specialty retailers nationwide for $24.99.
