It seems download numbers are all what it’s about these days. Yesterday, Namco Networks announced that Scene It? has triggered 17 million trivia question downloads.
“There is no question that casual trivia titles fit nicely on the mobile platform and Namco Networks recognized that the popular Scene It? DVD board game series would make for quality, fun mobile titles,” said Scott Rubin, vice president of sales and marketing, Namco Networks. “The Scene It? mobile game franchise is a perfect example of how the networked nature of cell phones can be leveraged to create fun game play. It is also an example of how Namco Networks applies new technologies such as networked features when it makes sense to enhance game play.”
Launched by Namco Networks in Nov. 2007, Scene It? TV Edition features challenging and fun trivia questions based on popular TV shows including everyone’s favourite shows from classics such as “Happy Days,” “Miami Vice” and “Alf,” to the hottest shows on TV such as “Heroes,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “American Idol.” Namco Networks launched Scene It? Movie Edition just over a year ago, and it was the first mobile game in the United States to incorporate streaming video into game play. Based on Screenlife’s hit DVD board game, the movie edition lets players relive their favourite movie moments from some of Hollywood’s hottest films through entertaining trivia.
