PopCap Games has announced that its PopCap Chicago Studio has launched Wizard’s Pen, an all-new “hidden object/puzzle” game for the PC.

Wizard’s Pen is a unique departure from traditional hidden object games, challenging players to identify an object through fragments or “layers” of a picture that are revealed in various ways using a magic pen – in effect, unveiling hidden items rather than spotting them in existing scenes.

A free trial of the PC game is available now for download at www.spintop-games.com. The game will also be available on other leading game portals, including PopCap.com, RealArcade.com, MSN Games and Yahoo! Games, and will be available worldwide in eight languages, later this month.
