Gamification at it’s best: Captain Morgan Integrated Gaming - just. awesome.
In the US, Diageo has embarked on a brave campaign that saw them via mobile devices create an MMORPG called Captain’s Conquest. They launched the initiative with a number of short films reenacting tales inspired by the real Captain Morgan’s history. They then enticed people to live like the man via the game and battle with other users in real time.
They essentially created an app that would allow you to live like the legend. Aggregating real time information based on your GPS location and supplying you with challenges such as: - earn points through check ins at certain venues
- battle with friends and strangers alike
- team up and join a fleet consisting of you and your friends giving you a better chance of conquering your local area.
..all the while rewarding you for your activity and giving you kudos via the game and a leader board on Facebook.
The actual product was nicely integrated into the offering as well. With users getting bonus weapons and points for scanning Captain Morgan Labels. There have been an impressive amount of interactions so far and it looks like a franchise they will strengthen in years to come.
Results so far:
200, 000 Check ins
12, 000 Bottles Scanned
10, 000 Battles on Average a Day

This is a great new developer’s platform that has just been released for anyone with an Android. Basically, you can program your own phone to answer your specific needs using ‘rules’ which are kind of like user-friendly Javascript coding, and can then share the ‘rules’ as a ‘recipe’ on the on{x} forum to see how others are programming their androids in different ways. Take a look at the video - such a great concept.
To me, this is the main reason why Android will overtake iPhones - it all comes down to personalisation, and with platforms like o{x} making it easy for anyone to customise their own devices, I think they will do very well.

How a small town emerged from an iPhone - Los Angeles-based 3D artist Mike Ko produced this cute little live action animation as his graduation project from Otis College of Art & Design. Titled iPhone Diorama, and taking around three months to complete, watch as buildings spring from the phone’s glass screen as a car skids around a corner. So adorable.
