Check out this interactive thriller about the future of our politics around energy. It’s a nice conspiracy story – if you have all Sunday (and enough interest in the future of the world’s existence 😉

It’s quite intriguing and technically well done! There are some mini-games you can play, but as with most of these ‘interactive films’ the mini-games do not add great value to the experience and are not all that relevant – unfortunately.

Submarine must have gotten a decent budget to build this – it looks amazing, behaves really well and the sounds design is great.

Check www.collapsus.com you really should!

>Mindshare Netherlands – Het Wereldwijde Media Netwerk – OLA Waterspelen (Dutch video – sorry). An impressive case by Ola. The waterolympics. Where children could compete in reallife playing various games in and around water to promote the non-fat icecreams by Unilever. Great results as well and great brand engagement if you ask me! I would love to give advice how you can translate this experience into an online portal of minigames inspired by this real life (yearly?) event.
