BlueFactory fills mobile phones with fiction and football
New entertainment services via Europolitan Vodafone BlueFactory fills mobile phones with fiction and football BlueFactory is launching another five new entertainment services via Europolitan Vodafone. Many of the games are aimed at users with particular interests, such as football or science fiction. The new games further broaden and develop BlueFactory's range of mobile interactive entertainment services. Europolitan Vodafone will today release another five new entertainment services from BlueFactory: FootballQuiz, SciFiQuiz, ExtremeQuiz, Rank'em, and Hunters & Collectors. The three trivia games are available on both SMS and WAP, and therefore are accessible by all Europolitan Vodefone mobile telephone subscribers. "We have previously had a broad range of entertainment services. These new games provide experiences for people who have strong special interests and are also interested in fun games. They now can have both in one," said Per Holmkvist, Product Manager at BlueFactory. FootballQuiz lets football fans test their own and their friends' knowledge about football stars, matches and records. The player that collects the most points is promoted to the prestigious high score list. Trekkies, X-philes, Star Wars fans, and others interested in outer space can explore space and the unknown with the trivia game SciFiQuiz. "Rank'em is a new mobile knowledge game, inspired by the TV programme 'Who wants to be a millionaire?'. The game is based on speed and intelligence, and will attract users who are used to television's rapid-fire questions," said Per Holmkvist. All of the services are simple to use. To increase the excitement, users can challenge up to three friends and acquaintances. Questions are updated continuously to ensure they remain current and interesting. The five new applications can be reached via http://hantera.europolitan.se or http://www.europolitan.se. In total, BlueFactory has launched more than 20 interactive games and entertainment services for SMS, WAP and GPRS via Europolitan Vodafone.
