CiRCLE DEVELOPS SONY
BMG’S
FIRST INTERACTIVE DVD:
‘BRITISH HIT SINGLES & ALBUMS -
No. 1 MUSIC QUIZ’
Date:
02.11.05
CiRCLE announces a joint venture with Sony BMG Music
Entertainment as the developer of its first ever
interactive DVD: ‘British Hit Singles & Albums No.1
Music Quiz’. The title draws from the massive
database at Guinness World Records which is used to
create the world’s best-selling pop reference book:
‘British Hit Singles & Albums’.
Hosted by comedian Steve Furst (Little Britain,
Orange mobile phone adverts), the interactive quiz
gives players the opportunity to find out just how
much they really know about the best pop music of
the last 50 years. The family-friendly content
features over 1200 questions based on original music
videos, pictures, audio clips and general knowledge
- and over ten question categories such as ‘Who Am
I’, ‘Body Language’ (charades) and ‘Hitting the
Headlines’.
‘No. 1 Music Quiz’ provides a compelling challenge
for pop music fans and is predicted to be a
Christmas bestseller, following in the footsteps of
Circle’s 2005 chart-topping ‘Now That’s What I Call
a Music Quiz’ (Virgin / Universal / EMI).
Commenting on the venture, Jeremy Heath-Smith, CEO
of CiRCLE says: “It’s been a real pleasure
working with Sony and Guinness World Records to
develop this high-profile brand on iDVD; the
resulting product is original, very entertaining and
some of our best work on the format to date. The
fact that Sony BMG selected CiRCLE to develop its first
interactive music quiz is testimony to the quality
of our games and we are delighted to add this title
to our development portfolio.”
David Roberts, Managing Editor of Guinness World Records Book of British
Hit Singles & Albums adds: “Fans of the book of British Hit Singles &
Albums have pressed us for some time about a quiz based on the book. I
think they are in for a real treat when they see the fantastic end
product produced by Circle and Sony BMG.” The
game’s presenter, comedian Steve Furst finally comments: 'The No.1
Music Quiz is a genuinely challenging all-round family game. Anyone who
has ANY love of music, will absolutely adore this'.
The No. 1 Music Quiz will be released via Sony/BMG on November 6th, RRP
£19.99.
