I think that this game has gotten a lot of people involved, but judging by applause at the hotel in the video above it didn’t sound like there was that many people who attended. I wonder what the actual number was for attendance?

i have to admit that i find almost all of these “viral games” (with the mysteries and clues) yawnworthy, no matter who does them. i’ve barely heard anything about this one, to be honest, so i don’t think it’s really doing its job… at least for me.

i wonder if the winner would want to go into space…a lot of people would probably be afraid to do that.

Yeah, it is pretty cool. I’m surprised you haven’t heard of it. I’m sure there will be a lot of buzz about Vista generated from this.

Also, the trip to Space is to see the “Ultimate Vista.” Good thinking, huh?

I also should have mentioned in the article that this is something 42 Entertainment is doing– they also were responsible for the viral marketing campaign for Halo 2.

Wow, that’s awesome. Just think of how much money was spent developing this game! Not to mention the cost of the prizes.

This is the first I have heard of it and I’m wondering why? If this is a marketing campaign then why not push it on the public? If the goal is to generate buzz then lots of people need to see it.

Regardless the game looks fun and the prizes rock. A trip to Space, who thought of that?
