MAIN EVENT & MEGA PUZZLES
MAIN EVENT CROSSWORD College Football
Puzzles Built to Monetize!
The Masters
Main Event Crosswords are sports-themed puzzles. Each crossword has a 21 X 21 grid
with 250 clues. Designed to monetize, each puzzle takes up two-thirds of a broadsheet with 10.7in x 4.75in ad space below. Also fits tabloid!
(Print only) Product shelf-life should be outstanding for advertisers who tie-in to the event and would provide a great vehicle for
"coupon" advertising! 2
CATEGORICAL PURSUITS Categorical Pursuits is five times the size of an average Sunday crossword, with a 43x43 grid and 958 total clues over a double-truck broadsheet spread. This is the BIGGEST crossword most readers have seen! Engage the entire family—and most households will take several days to complete it. Because of this exceptional reader retention, Categorical Pursuits is an outstanding advertising opportunity.
Generous space is included in the 4-page broadsheet product for advertising—more if you print the answer grid separately. 3
