During the week we discovered the Google Lightsaber Escape, an interactive game launched as the latest Star Wars film was released. To use the lightsaber, a specific URL is entered into the phone’s Google Chrome search engine, allowing for the desktop site to be transformed into an interactive battlefield. It’s been around a few months, but the novelty is yet to wear off… For procrastinators, it’s a dream/nightmare.
Pandora’s Geofilters
Mother’s Day saw Pandora making the most of Snapchat’s new geofilters, with the creation of a branded filter. Users were encouraged to take a snap with their mum and apply the filter, with the help of five mother and child blogging duos to push the campaign. It’s brilliant to see brands working to build a user base on Snapchat, as well as incorporating some of the newest advertising capabilities.
