PopCap Games revealed today that it is beginning a 10-month long celebration for the tenth birthday of its Bejeweled franchise. 2010 will see a community-wide competition for Bejeweled Blitz and contests like "Show Your Bejeweled Love. “
“Bejeweled has obviously succeeded beyond our wildest dreams,” said Jason Kapalka, co-creator of the game and co-founder and chief creative officer at PopCap. “When Brian Fiete, John Vechey and I built the game ten years ago, we had no grand aspirations for it or PopCap, we were trying to survive as a company during the depths of the dot-com collapse. Little did we know we'd still be selling copies of Bejeweled a decade later!"
50 million units of Bejeweled, Bejeweled 2 and Bejeweled Twist have been sold over the past decade with various forms of the game played by an estimated half billion people. To find out more, please visit www.bejeweled.com.
