  Superflares on giant stars have up to 100,000 times more energy than the high
energy solar flares. However, it is disputed, whether scaling up a solar-type
dynamo could explain such a magnitude difference. We investigate the flaring
activity of KIC 2852961, a late-type spotted giant. We seek for flares in the
Kepler Q0-Q17 datasets by an automated technique together with visual
inspection. Flare occurence rate and flare energies are analyzed and compared
to flare statistics of different targets with similar flare activity at
different energy levels. We find that the flare energy distribution of KIC
2852961 does not seem to be consistent with that of superflares on solar-type
stars. Also, we believe that in case of KIC 2852961 spot activity should have
an important role in producing such superflares.
