New Hidden Object Puzzler from SpinTop Studio Transports Players to Egypt for Exotic Treasure Hunt
Vancouver, British Columbia - November 5, 2007 - SpinTop Games, a division of leading casual game developer and publisher PopCap Games, today announced the immediate availability of Amazing Adventures The Lost Tomb, a new "hidden object" puzzle game with an Egyptian theme. SpinTop, acquired by PopCap in July of this year, is a leading developer of casual games, with classics such as Mystery P.I. - The Lottery Ticket, Mahjong Escape® and Mystery Solitaire to its credit. Amazing Adventures The Lost Tomb carries a retail price of US$19.95, and a free trial of the deluxe version is available now for download at www.popcap.com and www.spintop-games.com. The game will also be available on other leading game portals, including RealArcade.com, MSN Gaming Zone and Yahoo! Games, in mid-November.
"We set out to create an immersive hidden object game, and decided the Egyptian setting would be perfect for a number of reasons," stated Duncan Magee, co-director and co-founder of SpinTop. "First, the art and imagery is strikingly beautiful and intriguing; second, there's so much history to explore in the form of classic objects and edifices, from the Sphinx to the Great Pyramids."
In Amazing Adventures The Lost Tomb, adventurers undertake a series of missions comprising more than 100 levels and well over 2,000 hidden objects spanning numerous Egyptian locales, structures and settings. Visit the Nile River, a crowded Cairo bazaar, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and archaeological digs and throne rooms, to name a few. Along the way, players are challenged by seven different types of mini-games and puzzle traps including "spot the differences" as they strive to uncover the location of the Lost Tomb and the treasure locked within.
