Britain's Top 2011 Resolutions Revealed

New Research Suggests Young People Want to be Smarter Savers and New Year's Priorities Differ by Region

DUBLIN, December 30, 2010 - An online poll of over 2000 British men and women released
today from PopCap Games revealed Britain's top new year's resolutions for
2011.

While some of the resolutions may not come as a surprise, what
is surprising is that, of those who plan to make a new year's resolution in
2011, the top resolutions are almost exactly identical for both men and
women:

1. To lose weight/keep fit - 38% (35% men; 41% women)

2. To reduce stress and enjoy life more/have more fun - 23%
(24% men; 23% women)

3. To save money - 15% (15% men; 15% women)

AGE DIFFERENCE

While men and women are agreed on these three resolutions,
there is a marked point of difference among the age groups when it comes to
their top priority resolution. Of those polled who plan to make resolutions,
young people aged 18-24 are Britain's most committed savers (29%) but they
are least committed to reducing their stress or having more fun (16%); while
people aged 55+ are the most committed to reducing stress or having more fun
(31%) and those over 55 least concerned with saving (9%). In fact, across all
age groups who are planning to make resolutions, the research revealed a
rough trend that as people get older they are less concerned with saving
money as their top priority resolution and more committed to reducing stress
and enjoying their lives:

    AGE          18-24    25-34    35-44    45-54    55+

    Lose weight/ 28%      33%      42%      41%      42%
    keep fit

    Reduce       16%      18%      20%      27%      31%
    stress or
    have more
    fun
    Save money   29%      19%      12%      11%      9%

REGIONAL DIFFERENCE

In the regions, there were also some interesting differences.
Of those who plan to make a 2011 resolution, less Welsh people are
prioritizing their fitness while those in the South are most committed to
reducing stress and having more fun in 2011:

    REGION       North Midlands East   London South  Wales Scotland

    Lose weight/ 40%   44%      40%    31%    38%    27%   38%
    keep fit
    Reduce       23%   23%      19%    23%    27%    25%   18%
    stress or
    have more
    fun
    Save money   17%   12%      20%    11%    15%    12%   15%

Of those who employ techniques to help them stick to their
resolutions, the most popular techniques ever employed include promising
themselves a reward if they succeed (44%), getting support from people around
them (43%), and finding a distraction (19%).

PopCap games is a leader in casual and social games - a
distraction that is not only fun, but that has also been clinically proven to
reduce stress. And best of all they won't impact the saver's resolution
either. With games available for everyone, everywhere on a host of platforms,
people can play many hit games for free on the Facebook(R) platform
(Bejeweled(R) Blitz and Zuma(R) Blitz) or by logging onto
www.popcap.com.

Interestingly the research also revealed that 66% of Britons
who chose a least favourite month cite January (48%) or February (18%) as
their least favourite months of the year - a percentage that interestingly
also reflects the number of all people who say they will make at least one
New Year's resolution in 2011 (69%). A coincidence? Perhaps.
