Everest: Hidden Expedition

Hidden Expedition: Everest is the smash-hit hidden object casual game from Big Fish Games. Optimized for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, this seek and find game is unlike any puzzle game (or action, platformer, side-scrolling game for that matter!) you’ve seen on a touch screen.

Join the Hidden Expedition team in an object-finding race up the highest mountain in the world: Mount Everest! You’ll search for objects hidden in breath-taking scenes. The adventure begins at Base Camp, but who knows where the race will lead? Find all the objects faster than the other teams to win the race. Dozens of locations to search and game play that’s perfect for the iPhone / iPod Touch’s touch screen, this is the one race you’ve been waiting for!

We even enlisted the help of Ed Viesturs, the world’s foremost expert on mountain climbing and mountaineering. Trust us, he knows the difference between a clip and a carabiner! He has climbed more mountains, faced more sheer cliffs, and spanned more deep crevasses than most anyone alive. As an added bonus, he was kind enough to let us use some photos taken while on the treacherous path from Nepal to the summit.

Casual games have been around for many years. Some say it started with the launch of Solitaire on Windows 95. However, in the past 10 years, with the successes of digitally distributed casual games, there have been three major occurrences that changed the industry. The first wave started with Bejeweled and Zuma. As a result nearly every game launched was a match 3 game for several years. A few years later Betty’s Bear Bar launched, followed by Diner Dash. These time management games started a new craze in casual games.

In November of 2005, Big Fish Games developed and released Mystery Case Files: Huntsville, and the market experienced its most recent shift. The success of the Mystery Case Files series inspired Hidden Expedition and many other great hidden-object games. Other games in this series include Hidden Expedition: Titanic and Hidden Expedition: Amazon – available for Mac and PC at www.hiddenexpedition.com/iphone.
