Description : Prize winning detective now on N-Gage
Dirk won the Best Gameplay award from the International Mobile Game Awards jury at the Mobile World Congress early in 2008.
In August, eager players could finally get their hands on Dirk Dagger and the Fallen Idol, a game we’ve had great fun developing for the Nokia N-Gage platform. More information as well as a demo version is available on the Dirk Dagger site.
The rise of the adventure game
Our game represents a loving reinvention of the adventure game genre for the mobile format. Players will get to know private eye Dirk Dagger, the main character of a mysterious crime story in the tradition of film noir movies. The somewhat haphazard investigations of our favorite detective take players on a humorous journey through the backalleys of New Heaven and into the sinister sets of a deranged movie mogul.
A developer’s perspective
For the Jadestone development team, the project has been exiting not only because they are fans of the adventure genre, but also because it was an opportunity to work with Nokia on a leading edge technical platform. Nokia wanted a showcase for the innovative use of phone specific features and the team responded by building the whole navigation experience around the clever use of the built-in camera.
Mobile challenges
Even on a PC, adventure games can be too hard for some players. So a major challenge was to reduce the complexities of the adventure genre to make it enjoyable on a mobile. That meant simplifying complex interface designs, removing obstacles and enabling the game to work well even for very brief play sessions. By making rigorous playtesting an integral part of the development process, the team managed to strike a good balance between simplicity and challenge.
Dirk is a private eye who has vowed to continue his family detective business. He is an un-glamorous old school detective who is dedicated to his clients. He will never rest before the case is solved. Now facing his greatest challenge he must turn from pet rescuer to city saviour.
The core game-play of The Dirk Spanner is a point and click adventure game in the classic LucasArts tradition. The humorous story driven game combines simple minigames and harder puzzles in a very unique way. Innovative camera control provides the player an intuitive way of exploring the world.

Hollywood's classic Film Noir world creates an atmospheric backdrop for this story-driven detective game. Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol by Nokia Games Publishing brings classic detective gaming onto mobile devices with unique twists and turns around every corner.
Set in the stylish, yet seedy fictional city of New Haven, Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol comes to life through its comic book ambiance. Gripping yet funny stories of conflicts, romance and deception with plenty of movie stars, rip-offs, double-crosses, wigs and moustaches make this an entertaining game that will engage novices through to the most experienced game players.
"Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol will re-introduce the long forgotten detective game genre for mobile devices," said Dr Mark Ollila, Director of Technology and Strategy and Head of Games Publishing, Nokia. "With the combination of stunning visuals and enthralling storylines, players cannot help but be spellbound by this game."
Featuring Dirk as the lead private eye, players are propelled into mysterious adventures, battling an array of femme fatales and gangsters. From solving the mystery of a stolen statue and a brutal murder, to uncovering the case of an accidental penguin-related death, Dirk will not rest until the case is solved.
Players guide Dirk through mysterious assignments using the unique one-button, camera-based controls, giving players an intuitive way of exploring the city of New Haven. A jazzy soundtrack helps set the mood for each stage of the game.
