The Campaign

To experience the colorful world of the brand, phenomenal Real-Escape-game expert SCRAP was assigned to crate first Real-Escape-Game using the latest digital technologies along with the sampling event. We centered the campaign to the event and developed a online campaign(video, game and site) to maximize the buzz to drive interest to the event.

Creative Execution

To broaden the colorful and sparkling world of the brand through a unique and viral brand experience, the first "real Escape Game" event was set. October 2015, a month before the event created a buzz by a video online and a smartphone game. These 2 intriguing teasers of the campaign went viral on SNS. The players who successfully cleared the smartphone game could download a coupon to redeem a prize at the event venue. November 6-8,within the sampling event we built the Escape game room. The event were followed up by the highlight video of the night. And the campaign left the after taste to the target to enjoy the Cafe de Paris sparkling wine into the holiday season 2015.

Proof of digital can bring real people and friends closer. The climax of the campaign was set at the phenomenal Real-escape-game, which is a new hot entertainment in Japan among the target age group, using the latest digital technologies. The campaign was maximized by the buzz and interests of the viral brand experience.
