I may be a little biased, but check out VML Sydney’s epic Agency Xmas Card for 2012… It’s called Reindeer Races, and is a huge arduino powered installation that live streams real-world races from our office here in Sydney. When you connect with Facebook, you’ll be allocated a reindeer in the next available race, then battle it out with some button mashing keyboard action or use your phone as a controller for the game. Click here to give Reindeer Racing a go!
To bad it requires a Facebook login to play. Some of us have dropped Facebook like a hot rock in the last year for a number of reasons. Would have been nice if you could have had a second method of signing in to play.
Nice one Aden, nice one.
WOW! I love the idea.
How much money did you guys spend on this? VML must be rolling in money! Could have given an employee nice Christmas bonus with that production
Sorry Adam but i’m not seeing eye yo eye. I mean for the production and man hours this would have taken versus the usability of the game and then been told its offline as we feed the reindeers… its a bad experience sorry mate!
Brilliant use of Arduino and Facebook Connect! Superb job!
@WJ,
Are you also going to complain that it doesn’t work in IE?
Hey Aden, did you guys do this in Oz or was this a global project. I find it hard to see how the operation here could have managed what is clearly a massive undertaking.
Seriously good effort with a seriously bad ROI.
Hey Bails, mate, we built the entire thing here on level 16 at our offices in Sydney… Feel free to swing by in early Jan and I’ll give you the behind the scenes tour! Took us 2x weeks of night work to make it happen… Cheers, Aden
Thanks for the comments guys
John, if you’d have gone back, you’d have been able to play it along with the 15,000 others who have 
Sorry you lucked out the time you clicked into it, after all, this is a quick Xmas agency card, so guarantees!
