FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Germany, November
2001 - MoPilot.com,
the leading WAP search engine and mobile portal, today released
a new and exciting gaming experience available to all its members.
Entitled TRiViUM, the game is a general knowledge quiz.
However, there are two aspects that set it apart from all other
WAP games. It is a continuous tournament; with five new questions
available each day. As well as this, players’ scores are entered
into a league table with all the other contestants, making it one
of the first multiplayer games available on the technology.
"I started off asking a few of my friends here trivia
questions to test their general knowledge. As other people began
to join in and have fun, it occurred to me – why not make this a
regular thing?” says Ian Barrs, who designed the concept behind
TRiViUM. “The feedback I received gave me confidence to continue.
I thought about how much MoPilot gave to me and decided it was high
time to give a little back”.
Ian then worked with Chris Jenkins, a senior administrator.
He and the MoPilot team took the concept, and made it into a weekly
event held in chat. This was instantly a huge success amongst members.
Today, the game became an official part of MoPilot, and also changed
in style. TRiViUM is now a menu option at the portal, and has become
a static quiz, available any time and updated every day.
Dieter Kneffel, Chief Technology Officer at MoPilot,
has played an important part in making the new quiz possible. Asked
what TRiViUM means for MoPilot, he replied, “We appreciate our members
commitment. We have an open ear for our members’ needs and their
feedback is the key to our success. We are fast in reacting to the
customers’ needs, adding new features and services. This is simply
another example.”
In its first few hours of release, over 1000 people
played the game. The response from users has been excellent. “Even
though I’m no good at it, I think it is excellent fun! It is an
original and refreshing addition to the services available here.
I hope there are more ideas like this in the future” said one long-standing
member of the site. Incidentally, more releases are in fact planned.
MoPilot offers easy integration in existing portals,
a modular concept interface and cross-platform availability; WAP,
web and SMS. It is available in several languages and most importantly
because it is independent, it is available to everyone at no charge.
