14 DAY TRIAL // Fox Reality, all-reality, all-the-time channel gears up for season four of the first online fantasy game dedicated to reality television. Fox Reality's "Fantasy Reality Challenge" is now live and ready for play at foxreality.com.
It wishes to combine the online fantasy games with reality television through a real-time game allowing participants to earn points based on the performance of their selected players from some of America's most popular reality series, including: American Idol, Beauty and the Geek, The Apprentice L.A., The Amazing Race: All-Stars, I Love New York and You're The One That I Want. Players can also compete against reality stars and personalities.
Fantasy Sports in America is a $50 million business with more than 15 million people playing every year. Players in the age range of 18-34 years-old will be the heart of the challenge as they spend twice as much time online than their non-fantasy-playing counterparts.
The contest is LIVE and accessible for signups through the "Games" section on the home page of the site. Users become active participants with the programming by selecting up to six actual reality television contestants and then earn points based on the performance of those same people within their television competitions.
Each week, as contestants from the TV shows are eliminated, Fantasy Reality players accumulate points based upon who remains on their rosters. If a Fantasy Reality user opts to alter his or her roster, they can do so, but owners of points earned by dropees are lost forever. The longer a contestant lasts, the more points he earns. Users can invite their friends into private groups where they can play against each other and chat or the game can be played against the entire Fox Reality community.
