Nokia Game 2002 finished on Friday, 29 November with an exciting musical finale. This year, the theme was the ins and outs of the music industry. Players took on the role of a start-up music band that tries to become famous as soons as possible and release their first single via a multimedia message (MMS) to mobile phones. Using “Fames”, the Nokia Game currency, players were able to buy the necessary Assets, such as Studios, Composers or PR Agencies, to enable them to become famous. In addition, several online games gave players the chance to show off their skills and gain valuable experience for the final.
“This year’s Nokia Game was a huge success with over one million players registered. And the collaborative spirit of previous years was present again, with players connecting, competing and collaborating to reach the finals, “ said Pekka Rantala, Vice President, Marketing Services, Nokia Mobile Phones. “A big thank you to all of the players who took part this year. We hope that they were both entertained and inspired by their journey into the music industry.”
Nokia Game 2002 is an interactive adventure provided by Nokia that was played from 11 to 29 November in nine languages across 25 countries. Throughout Nokia Game, the players received clues and information via the Internet, SMS, chat, interactive voice response (IVR) calls and mini-movies distributed over the web. In addtion, the UK band Idlewild rolled a giant set of inflatable dice in locations across Europe and the dice results changed the way in which the game developed.
The top 10 to100 players in each country will each win a special new Nokia 3650 phone with integrated camera, video player and camcorder. The winners will be among the first in their region to own and use this new phone.
