Objective

Universal Pictures launched the Battleship Facebook Game to drive awareness and engagement around the 2012 film release, leveraging social gaming as part of a broader $50M promotional partnership strategy. The game aimed to create interactive brand experiences that would extend the film's reach and generate buzz in the casual gaming market.

Solution

A multiplayer naval strategy game where players battled in Humans vs. Aliens scenarios on Facebook, sinking 3D ships in either asynchronous or real-time matches. Victories unlocked exclusive film clips, incentivizing repeated play. The game was accessible directly through Facebook's app platform, enabling viral sharing and friend challenges to drive organic reach.
