Every now and then you come across a campaign idea that’s seriously cool, and those ideas can’t always be Old Spice… But this new alternate reality game / iPhone app combo from MINI in Sweden is very very cool indeed.
The game challenges you to hunt, catch and escape with a virtual MINI in Stockholm using an iPhone app and your own two legs. The catch is, you have to get within 50m of the virtual MINI to hit “Take The MINI Now” in the app before escaping as fast as possible, because anyone else who gets within 50m of you can instantly take the virtual MINI back! If you are the person holding the virtual MINI after 7 days of 24/7 gaming, you’ll win a real MINI Countryman!
The MINI Getaway ARG is currently live and I’m watching the action on a real time map here!
Very very cool indeed!
A pity though there is no JPG when you share the link of the website on facebook – small detail but never the less help the viral effect.
The Mini goes to the person with the virtual Mini at the end of the week? You sure?
Cool campaign but a bit of a shame it’s done before, won a Lion and was executed better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LKVvLaeaYI

[...] When Volkswagon released the new Polo they made one of their cars public and gave brand fans a chance to win the vehicle by driving it the furthest. During the 8 day, 12 hour per day contest users could steal the Polo from other people’s profiles and even influence the direction of the Polo by entering their postal code. At the end of the contest 175 people had driven 2,500 KM, but thousands connected with the car on video and social media sites. Perhaps most interesting, this has been said to be the campaign that inspired the MINI Getaway campaign. [...]
