High Praise for Wei Kiat!

When Singaporean teenager, Tay Wei Kiat developed the online puzzle game called “The Wicked Game”, little did he know that a small idea like this can expand to the level it is today. What started as a online game within the SIngapore gaming community has developed a cult status emcompassing Myanmar, China and even the United STates, Germany and Ireland. With such a huge following, this teenager was approached by M1 to create the same brainteaser game on mobile phone that consists of SMS quizzes emulating the online puzzle game. With such exposure, imagine the revenue he can get from additional sms traffic and having his game on various channels will definitely give him the right exposure to venture into his own business in online and mobile games.

Yes, I do admit that this arena is already very competitive but he is already a few steps ahead with his affiliation with MobileOne and the expansion of his online game all over the world. And this is just the begining of M1’s effort to encourage talented young individuals to develop local content that will appeal to their peers. More contests and goodies to come

Another interesting observation on mobile games is how life can easily be easily affiliated into games
