Coming Soon Exclusively to the World of Kaneva—Ka-ching!

Get ready to play Ka-ching!—our all-new, FREE, multi-player, third person, 3D shooting game.

Team up with your friends to find, collect, and deposit the most coins (Ka-ching!), dodge foam darts, and defeat the opposing team. You can assemble a team with your Kaneva friends, or join one in progress.

Available from the Go Places travel map, Ka-ching! can be played in one of two arenas:

• The Office: A fast-paced, action-packed arena that's sure to be a stress reliever. Make sure to watch out for the cubicles—you never know where an opponent is hiding.
• The Octagon: In this arena, intense action is lurking around every corner. You can use the jump pads to leap to upper levels, where you'll find hidden coins.

All you need to play Ka-ching! is your keyboard and mouse. Key controls allow you to move, shoot, change weapons, and reload.

Stay tuned for more details. For more information and discussion, check out the Kaneva forums.
