Dynamo Brings The Crystal Maze To Mobile
Dynamo Games today announced it is creating a
new mobile game based on the cult TV series, The Crystal Maze
Featuring all of the best loved aspects of the TV
game show, The Crystal Maze Mobile will challenge a team of players to complete
tasks across Aztec, Medieval, Industrial and Futuristic zones. Each zone offers
a variety of challenges, from physical and skill tasks through to mental or
mystery puzzles.
The Crystal Maze Mobile will be available from
all major networks in Q4 2007.
The Crystal Maze originally ran on television
from 1990 – 1995, building up a cult following, which remains to this day. The
series is still being shown on digital television channels in the UK. In 2006
The Crystal Maze was voted ‘The Best Gameshow Of All Time’ by visitors to the
website www.ukgameshows.com.
“The Crystal Maze is a perfect format for mobile
gaming,” says Brian McNicoll, the managing director of Dynamo Games. The show’s
variety of short tasks, challenges and puzzles, translates very nicely onto
mobile phones and the way people play with them.”
“We are very excited to be bringing a show with
as much heritage, fun and passion as The Crystal Maze to mobile,” says McNicoll.
“We know the show still has a strong following across the UK, so translating its
unique blend of puzzles and trademark humor is something we’ve relished. Dynamo
has a great deal of experience bringing brands to the mobile entertainment
market and we’re looking forward to introducing The Crystal Maze to a whole new
generation.”
Malcolm Heyworth, the managing director of
Chatsworth TV, agrees. “The Crystal Maze seems tailor made for the mobile
entertainment market. Its mix of themed puzzles and games, tied up in an
appealing and fun package, has something to offer to everyone, from fans of the
original show, to casual gamers and new phone owners. Dynamo has demonstrated in
the past that it understands what it takes to make a success of a licensed
product and we believe the company is creating something special with The
Crystal Maze Mobile.
