An April Fools' for gamers
̌
Xbox wanted to promote their sponsorship of Snowbombing - a snowboarding event in Austria. Our solution was to make an April's fool for gamers. We invented a new game for Xbox 360 called Alpine Legend, complete with a huge alphorn. We launched the fake game with an ad and an official page on Xbox.com.
The video got over half a million views on April 1st, and got mentioned on Game Trailers, GameSport, The Escapist and Geekologie. It also got mentioned on the news, at The Guardian, CNN and Fox News.
raffic to Xbox.com increased with over 300% on April 1st.
