Bejeweled is a puzzle game by PopCap Games, first developed for the browser in 2001. Three sequels to this game have been released, Bejeweled 2, in 2004, Bejeweled Twist in 2008, and Bejeweled Blitz in 2010, all also by Popcap Games. Blitz is a one minute timed version which can be played by linking to Facebook, or in an offline mode. More than 25 million copies of Bejeweled have been sold, and the game has been downloaded more than 150 million times.[1] The game was initially created by PopCap Games as a web-based Flash game called Diamond Mine. It was reportedly successful for PopCap—a company formed in 2000. PopCap created partnerships with established Internet gaming sites such as Microsoft Zone to host Bejeweled as well. The name Bejeweled was suggested by Microsoft, who thought that the original name Diamond Mine was too similar to that of an existing game, Diamond Mines. The game has also been ported to other platforms, including Microsoft Windows, where it was called Bejeweled Deluxe. Astraware produced versions for PDAs on the Palm OS, Windows Mobile, Smartphone and Palm platforms. They also released Bejeweled Deluxe on the Xbox as a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade game. On September 12, 2006, it was released as one of the first games downloadable from the iTunes Store for the Apple iPod.[citation needed] PopCap Games initially announced a version of Bejeweled for the iPhone that was not a standalone game but rather a web application playable over the Safari browser.[2] A native application for the iPhone has since been made available for purchase in the iTunes store, although the web-based version still exists.
