SAN RAFAEL, CA. -- Telltale Games today announced that Puzzle Agent is now available for download for the iPhone and iPad. The widely popular "puzzling adventure with a twist" has captivated players since its June release on PC and Mac, and it's now bringing its challenging brand of fun to mobile gamers.
Since its debut, Puzzle Agent has received numerous accolades from a wide array of media -- from respected gaming enthusiast outlets to national mainstream media -- and includes:
* IGN.com "Best iPhone Game of E3"
* CNET "Thirty Great Games You Can Play on a Netbook"
* MSNBC.com "Best of E3 2010"
Optimized for iPhone and iPad mobile platforms, Puzzle Agent was created in collaboration with Graham Annable and is based on his indie comic work, Grickle. The game combines accessible Professor Layton-inspired puzzling, generous doses of Nordic folklore and enigmatic gnomes, with dark David Lynch and Coen brothers inspired sensibilities.
"Since first announcing the game and the details behind our collaboration with Graham, Puzzle Agent has been warmly received by both fans and the media, said Dan Connors, CEO of Telltale Games. "We are pleased to now offer consumers a phenomenal gameplay experience for their iPhone and iPad."
Puzzle Agent is the first game released via Telltale's new Pilot Program through which the company is bringing new game concepts to market, similar to the broadcast industry's television pilots.

About Puzzle Agent
In Puzzle Agent, Nelson Tethers from the U.S. Department of Puzzle Investigation is sent to the field when White House inquiries to the Scoggins Eraser Co. are answered only with curious puzzles. The game combines brainteasers including mazes, puzzles, logic and riddles, intertwined with an engrossing mystery story -- all presented with Graham's unique narrative and visual sensibilities, and the distinctive Telltale style.
