With a caricature of Viesturs as the guide, Hidden Expedition: Everest takes players through 40 different robust environments where they find hidden objects and solve mysteries. Players race against other teams of characters and explore scenic areas across the globe in an effort to be the first to summit Mount Everest. Integrated within the game is a collection of Viesturs' breathtaking real-life video, still photography taken during past climbs, and new original voice narrations describing his experiences summiting Mount Everest and other perilous mountain peaks.

Hidden Expedition: Everest is the second episode in the Hidden Expedition series from Big Fish Games following Hidden Expedition: Titanic, which was released in August 2006. These casual games provide players with unique opportunities to challenge their puzzle solving skills in world famous locations around the world. In Hidden Expedition: Everest, players race across the world from beautiful locations in South American jungles to mysterious island chains and finally to the face of Mount Everest itself. With help from world-renowned climber Ed Viesturs, players will discover hidden tunnels and other clues that will ultimately lead them to the top of the mountain. Viesturs is a natural fit with the theme of the game, as he is the only American climber to ascend the 14 tallest mountains in the world without the help of supplemental oxygen - including six trips to the top of Mount Everest.

"I'm very pleased to be a part of this newest effort from Big Fish Games," said Ed Viesturs, high-altitude climber and adventurer. "It is rewarding to be able to share the experiences I've had throughout my years of climbing and provide an opportunity for fans of Big Fish Games to experience some of the exhilaration and challenges of an actual Everest expedition."

Viesturs has climbed many of the world's most challenging summits, ascending Mount Everest six times, one to film the world-famous Everest IMAX film. In 2005 he completed a 16-year quest to climb all 14 of the world's highest mountains without the use of supplemental oxygen, becoming the first American and the fifth person in the world to accomplish this. In the spring of 2007, Viesturs will join renowned Polar explorer and dogsledder Will Steger, plus Sir Richard Branson and his son Sam, for a ski and dogsled traverse of Baffin Island to focus attention on how global warming is impacting the way of life of the local Inuit.
