The game was the first crossmedia collaboration for us and it seems we did a pretty good job. If you wonder what crossmedia means, it literally has a definition by itself: two medias put together in a unique communication plan. In our case, the game reinforces the communication plan created around the movie release.

We told you some time ago about the game « Torpedo ». The project was the first cross media experience for Fishing Cactus. The work consisted in creating a game around the universe of Matthieu Donck’s movie, starring François Damiens and Audrey Dana.

Face In The Hole is the second step of the cross media plan. The objective is to make you play with both your friends and your creativity. Put your heads in the holes and shoot the funniest picture possible. Share it on facebook with the built-in application and make your social web laugh.
