A multiplayer game for Vrij Verzekerd insurance company

“In case of a serious accident the Dutch insurance company Vrij Verzekerd will refund the full value of your car. You will thus be able to acquire an identical car and … keep driving.” To illustrate this benefit an interactive campaign was designed including a free “Endless Race” iPhone game and a viral video. “Endless Race” became one of the first multiplayer games for the iPhone 3G where the game jumps between phones. The essence of the game is to reach the finish line within 60 seconds — then the game jumps to another iPhone. Users can thus race endlessly. In case of an accident, Vrij Verzekerd comes to help and puts the car back on the track. The gameplay is based on the interactive banner that we developed for Vrij Verzekerd back in 2008.

To draw attention to the game we shot an online video, where a car drives on a very long chain of iPhones (you see it under this text). We sent the link to websites that write about games and the iPhone. The video sparked debate whether such games as “Endless Race” exist for real and whether it is possible at all to develop a game, where action jumps from one iPhone to another. Readers learnt from the discussion that “Endless Racing Game” does exist and is available for download for free on App Store / iTunes. And they surely saw that players can build an endless racing track on their Bluetooth-connected iPhones owing to Apple’s peer-to-peer connectivity made available in the summer of 2009.

In April 2010, the campaign became an Official Honoree for the Fourteenth Annual Webby Awards (New York) in the Mobile category Further, in April 2010 the campaign won the bronze in the Online and Viral category of Internet Advertising at the Second White Square International Advertising and Marketing Festival (Minsk) In May 2010, the company won the gold in the Media Projects category at the Eleventh Kyiv International Advertising Festival The campaign was also short-listed for the 17th Golden Drum advertising festival and 20th Red Apple Moscow International Advertising and Marketing Festival. Furthermore, “Endless Race” became a finalist of the AD STARS 2010 International Festival in South Korea
