Hidden Expedition: Everest is the smash-hit hidden object casual game from Big Fish Games. Optimized for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, this seek and find game is unlike any puzzle game (or action, platformer, side-scrolling game for that matter!) you've seen on a touch screen.

Join the Hidden Expedition team in an object- finding race up the highest mountain in the world: Mount Everest! You'll search for objects hidden in breath-taking scenes. The adventure begins at Base Camp, bur who knows where the race will lead? Find all the objects faster than the other tezms to win the race. Dozens of locations to search and game play that's perfect for the iPhone / iPod Touch's touch screen, this is the one race you've been waiting for!

We even enlisted the help of Ed Viesturs, the world's foremost expert on mountain climbing and mountaineering. Trust us, he knows the difference between a clip and a cauabiner! He has climbed more mountains, faced more sheer cliffs, and spanned more deep crevasses than most anyone alive. As an added bonus, he was kind enough to let us use some photos taken while on the treacherous path from Nepal to the summit.

Casual games have been around for many years. Some say it started with the launch of Solitaire on Windows 95. However, in the past 10 years, with the successes of digitally distributed casual games, there have been three major occurrences that changed the industry. The first wave started with Bejeweled and Zuma. As a result nearly every game launched was a match 3 game for several years. A few years later Betty's Bear Bar launched, followed by Diner Dash. These time management games started a new craze in casual games.

"Amazing

Everest Hidden Expedition was one of my favorites on the PC... onw it's on my IPhone. Big Fish did a tremendous job in transitioning this game over. The scrolling and vertical format (with zoom) allow you to see the hidden items - not just a random guess by tapping the screen all over until an item is selected... you need to some sleuthing with this game. One last thing... I can't imagine this game will stay at 99 cents for long. I hate to jeopardize Big Fish raising the price, but I certainly would have paid a few bucks for this game!"

"GREAT GAME!

This game is PERFECT for the iPhone! I'm a huge fan of hidden object games and being able to just touch where the objects are makes things incredibly easy and I can concentrate on playing without having to worry about the controls. The graphics are incredible too, I can't believe how beautiful this game looks! It's a blast to play and is the perfect app to have around whenever I have some time to spare. DEFIINITELY get this! You won't be disappointed."
