White House Completed!
July 4, 2009
Well, the actual White House was completed back in the 1800s.  And then a few small fires, renovations, and 570 gallons of paint to cover it (fun facts -- check them out).  The actual hidden object game we create is being published by Game Mill and Big Fish Games, and should be available for casual player's enjoyment in the upcoming weeks!  Another fun fact:  Freemason president Theodore Roosevelt was the only President to kill a cougar with a knife.  No kidding.
