SAN FRANCISCO – May 13, 2008 – PlayFirst, Inc., the leading publisher focused exclusively on casual games, announced the release of Wedding Dash® 2: Rings Around the World today. The much-anticipated sequel to a breakthrough bestseller, Wedding Dash 2 features fan-favorite Quinn, this time competing on a reality TV show to win the title of the world's top wedding planner.

Ready for that once in a lifetime special day—again? Wedding Dash 2 expands PlayFirst’s industry-leading Diner Dash® series with a serialized storyline further developing a cast of beloved characters. In the original Wedding Dash, Diner Dash’s heroine, Flo™, encouraged Quinn to develop and manage her own wedding planning business. In Wedding Dash 2, Quinn has partnered with Joe Wright, a charismatic wedding photographer and growing love interest.

There isn’t much time for romance, though, as the competition heats up. Game play revolves around fast-paced globe trotting as the players help Quinn host wedding receptions at luxury hotels in a variety of secret locations. True to the reality TV format, a planner gets eliminated at the end of each round. Quinn must work faster and harder to stay in the competition while thwarting sabotage from her competitors, including stolen tables, tripping waitresses, and food tampering. It’s up to the player to get Quinn to the final round.

"The highly anticipated Wedding Dash 2: Rings Around the World joins PlayFirst’s blockbuster summer lineup,” says Kenny Shea Dinkin, vice president and creative director. “In the original Wedding Dash, Diner Dash fans turned in their diner menus for wedding venues, and this year’s sequel will have players tuning in again to help Quinn navigate exotic new locations, a romantic relationship, and hilarious wedding-day disasters.”

Wedding Disasters, virtual and real
The extent to which players can personally relate to the unpredictable ups and downs of wedding-day celebrations is an appealing part of Wedding Dash and its sequel. While waiting for the release of Wedding Dash 2, enthusiastic fans on PlayFirst.com shared nuptial disaster stories on the forums and answered wedding-related polls. Though Quinn contends with everything from hungry birds crashing an outdoor reception to deliberate catering sabotage, PlayFirst fans named adult relatives and guests as the most likely cause of real-world wedding-day calamities.

Wedding Dash® 2: Rings Around the World is available now for both Mac and PC. Play a free 60-minute trial or purchase the full-version for $19.95. Also launching later this month is Wedding Dash for mobile phones, developed and published by PlayFirst's mobile partner, Glu Mobile.
