We were excited to work with Red Bull to launch a multi-language web-based game for mobile and desktop to support the Red Bull 400, the brand’s real-world race event.

Key features of the game

Important to the success of the game was both the stylized illustration to capture the fun of the brand and the custom-built game engine that reacts to the steepness and difficulty of the course. And of course, players can get power-ups by grabbing Red Bull cans, gloves and sneakers that appear along the incline. This branded game is a key approach to connecting with younger fans of the brand.
