I-play Gains Yardage with SI 2005 Football Trivia Launch
Press Release
San Mateo, CA - April 4 2005: I-play, the mobile games company, today announced the launch of its first title in a range of SI sports trivia mobile games, SI 2005 Football Trivia.
I-play is working with SI MOBILE to bring this hugely successful brand to wireless gamers via developing and publishing a range of SI MOBILE titles, the first of which is SI 2005 Football Trivia. This inaugural release will be followed later in the year by the launch of 2005 SI Sports Trivia Challenge, a general U.S. sports trivia game with up-loadable, topical question packs. Also in the pipeline are SI branded action and fantasy sports titles.
SI 2005 Football Trivia, which debuts on Sprint PCS and shortly thereafter will be available from leading wireless network operators and portals across the United States, blends core elements of grid-iron football and trivia gameplay to create a fun, challenging mobile game, which will be welcomed by sports trivia fans around the country.
Players of the game can choose offensive or defensive play and then answer a series of challenging trivia questions to literally move the pigskin down the field. How well the play is executed depends on how many questions are answered correctly: Get a string of right answers and you might complete a long pass or break a long run; get too many questions wrong and you risk interceptions and fumbles. Skillful play calling and a mastery of football trivia will see players victorious.
SI 2005 Football Trivia hosts a number of subscription-based network-connected features giving gamers exclusive access to monthly updated question packs approved by SI's statistics experts. In addition, players can view and post high-scores on WAP and web-based leader boards via dedicated SI-branded microsites, challenging friends to see who can get the highest score. I-play will also assist wireless network carriers in organizing tournaments around the game, offering a variety of prizes to the best football trivia champions across the nation.
"SI is excited to see the first mobile gaming incarnation of its brand. We see this medium as an important growth area in the coming years and believe we have chosen one of the best mobile content partners in this space," said Jeff Price, VP/Chief Marketing Officer at SI.
Paul Maglione, Senior Vice President of Publishing and Marketing for I-play commented, "SI is the unquestioned leader in sports information for millions of people every week; sports trivia is a source of hours of entertainment for sports fans; and we are of course delighted to be able to combine the two in this unique mobile game title."
