Dynamo has announced the release of The Crystal Maze mobile game in Q4 of 2007. The
game is based on the cult TV show that ran from 1990 till 1995 (and
still being re-run).
Though the game show has stopped being made, it seems to have gathered a stable fan base and was announced UK’s best TV show of all time at 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 humour 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.
