Party Trivia: The first mobile social game |
|
|
1 June 2007, Helmond, the Netherlands |
|
After years of individual games, FunRunGames has introduced the first mobile game for a group of people.
"Mobile games are typically played by one person, or in some cases by multiple people over a network,"
said Bjorn Bon, director of FunRunGames.
"With Party Trivia, the mobile is the central point of a group of people that are physically together
for example in a pub, at a party or at work during lunch. This increases the fun and it is good for the social
contacts of people."
The idea behind Party Trivia is rather simple:
- Start the game and press the ok button. A flashing arrow is shown and some music is heard.
- Spin around your mobile on a flat surface and wait for it to stop spinning.
- The person pointed by the arrow must read the question or do the assignment.
- Press ok and spin around the mobile again.
Party Trivia contains more than 1600 questions, some funny assignments, and there is an option to add
your own questions and assignments.
Party Trivia can be downloaded for free from
www.funrungames.com/party.
