Posted on: Friday, 6 March 2009, 16:59 CST

More Than 250,000 Fans Hit FriendsOrEnemies.com In Hopes of Beating Game and Winning Concert Tickets for Believers Never Die Part Deux Tour

LOS ANGELES, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Fall Out Boy launched their highly anticipated online game Fall Out Boy Trail earlier this week and their fans are flocking in droves to FriendsOrEnemies.com to play (http://www.FriendsOrEnemies.com/web/FOE/ce/falloutboytrail/).

In just 72 hours since its launch, more than 250,000 fans have jumped onboard the Fall Out Boy Trail with the hopes of winning tickets to the band's upcoming North America Tour titled, "Believers Never Die Part Deux." The tour features support acts Cobra Starship, All Time Low, Metro Station and Hey Monday. The "Believers Never Die Part Deux" tour supports the band's newest release, FOLIE A DEUX, and current single "America's Suitehearts."

Fall Out Boy bassist, Pete Wentz, said, "I can't help it. I wish we could've put this thing out on a floppy disk that you had to flip over right in the middle. Besides FOB is better in 8bit in every single way."

A parody of the classic educational computer game, Oregon Trail, the Fall Out Boy customized version created especially for FriendsOrEnemies.com features band members Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump, Andy Hurley and Joe Trohman, as well as Perez Hilton, Barack Obama and several other friends of the band. Players can also stream and purchase music from FOLIE A DEUX as they play, and everyone who successfully navigates their way on the Fall Out Boy Trail will automatically be entered for the chance to win tickets for the "Believers Never Die Part Deux" Tour which kicks off on April 3 in Mesa, Az.

Launched in 2006, FriendsOrEnemies.com (FOE) has become the new backstage pass for music fans and lurkers, giving them the chance to experience what their favorite artists are doing when they're being the rock stars they are. Everyday FOE is unleashing video footage & photos direct from our VIP's phones, breaking news and so much more! Who are these VIPS, you ask?
