Gameloft, the leading developer and publisher of mobile
games, successfully previewed Paris Hilton's Diamond Quest at this
year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). With a previous working
title of Jewel Jam, the company decided on a final title to better
reflect the fresh, dynamic and sexy appeal of the heiress
extraordinaire. Paris Hilton herself unveiled the new title during her
appearance at Gameloft's E3 booth.
"It's a common practice at E3 to present games with working titles," said Gonzague de Vallois, Vice-President of Publishing at Gameloft. "We had the opportunity to have Paris Hilton herself reveal the final game title at our E3 booth and we jumped at the chance. We are very excited to launch one of the most anticipated games of the year."
Paris Hilton's Diamond Quest is the first official mobile game featuring the dazzling socialite. The objective, in this simple yet addictive gameplay, is to solve exciting, frantic puzzles based on an easy concept: switch around stunning diamonds in a grid to line up identical gems and - depending on the challenge or mode - beat the high score in a given time. With more than sixty levels and six different modes - including the fun and original "Diamonds are Forever," "Fortune Telling," and "Forget Me Not" -Paris Hilton's Diamond Quest will keep players of all kinds glued to their mobile phones for hours at a time. As an added bonus, photos of Paris herself will be revealed, and the star will regularly show up to guide, help, and challenge you as the game goes on. Even Tinkerbell, her celebrity dog, will make a surprise appearance!
Paris Hilton's Diamond Quest will be launched in June 2006 across 150 carriers worldwide in over 70 countries reaching 1 billion plus subscribers.

About Paris Hilton
"Quirkily endearing," "oddly engaging" and "fitfully funny" are just a few of the accolades Paris Hilton received when she took Hollywood by storm with her hit television show "The Simple Life." Nurturing a body of work that encompasses film, television and music, Paris Hilton is a bonafide superstar.
Last season audiences tuned in every week to watch her Fox reality series "The Simple Life." The show followed Paris, and Nicole Richie, as they left behind their lifestyle in Beverly Hills and take a country road trip. Taking a Greyhound Bus they traveled coast to coast and the girls made stops along the way to work odd jobs for money. Paris' other television credits include "The O.C.," "Las Vegas," "Veronica Mars," and "The George Lopez Show."
Segueing effortlessly between the big and small screen, Paris last summer was seen on the big screen in Joel Silver's Warner Brothers box office hit "The House of Wax" in a starring role alongside Chad Michael Murray. Her other film credits include "Raising Helen" with Kate Hudson, "Zoolander" alongside Ben Stiller, "The Cat in the Hat" alongside Mike Meyers and "Wonderland" with Val Kilmer.
Paris' career continues to evolve with exciting and challenging projects. This spring Paris will release her first untitled album produced by Scott Storche for Warner Bros. Records. She just released her second book, "Confess It All To Me," following her New York Times Best Seller first book, "Confessions of an Heiress," with the Fireside imprint of Simon and Shuster in September 2004. Also in 2004 Paris was the premiere face of Guess?, shot by photographer Ellen Von Unwerth.
Paris enjoys spending time with her family, friends and pets and is actively involved in numerous charities and various animal advocacy organizations.
Paris currently resides in Los Angeles.
