Dynamo Games, one of the UK's top 50 Mobile companies, recently announced it is creating a new mobile game based on the cult TV series, The Crystal Maze.

Featuring all of the best-loved aspects of the TV game show, The Crystal Maze Mobile will challenge a team of players to complete tasks across Aztec, Medieval, Industrial and Futuristic zones. Each zone offers a variety of challenges, from physical and skill tasks through to mental or mystery puzzles.

The Crystal Maze originally ran on television from 1990 - 1995, building up a cult following, which remains to this day. The series is still being shown on digital television channels in the UK.

"The Crystal Maze is a perfect format for mobile gaming," says Brian McNicoll, the managing director of Dynamo Games. The show's variety of short tasks, challenges and puzzles, translates very nicely onto mobile phones and the way people play with them."

"We are very excited to be bringing a show with as much heritage, fun and passion as The Crystal Maze to mobile," says McNicoll. "We know the show still has a strong following across the UK, so translating its unique blend of puzzles and trademark humour is something we've relished. Dynamo has a great deal of experience bringing brands to the mobile entertainment market and we're looking forward to introducing The Crystal Maze to a whole new generation."

Dynamo Games is responsible for the hugely successful mobile edition of Eidos's popular Championship Manager series, which has won The Independent Game Developer Association (TIGA) Mobile Game Of The Year award two years in a row.

The Crystal Maze Mobile will be available from all major networks in Q4 2007.
