Fed up with the kids telling you they’re bored? At a loss as to how to while away those rainy days during half-term? Well, Disney.co.uk is coming to the rescue with a brand new online gaming tournament that pits the nation’s tweens against one another in a battle of wits and skill! From 20 October until 2 November visitors to the site will be invited to play the ‘game of the day’ with their scores adding to the daily Girls Vs Boys online score board. Every day, players will be able to see if it’s the boys or the girls who are stealing the show, and each day there will be a prize-draw with one lucky winner receiving a copy of the brand new racing game, PURE, on PC CD-ROM.

But it’s the lure of the grand prize that will keep keen gamers coming back for more – over the two week competition, players who have participated in no less than 6 ‘games of the day’ will then go in to the grand prize draw. One lucky boy and one lucky girl will be in the running to win a fantastic new XBox 360 and a copy of PURE on the same format!
