December 12th, 2011 by cmatthieu

Mercedes-BenzMercedes-Benz recently launched their Escape The Map video/game campaign, created by AMV BBDO and Unit9 with communications built by Integrated Voice Solutions. This video/game campaign technology utilizes Tropo and Phono from Voxeo Labs!

This next-generation video/game ad campaign is about a young woman named Marie who finds herself trapped in her Mercedes C 63 AMBG Coupé in a Streetview-inspired version of Hong Kong. Marie needs to escape from the map before her face is forever blurred-out. Your goal is to help free Marie by working out a series of clues and be entered into a prize drawing to win the car! (Restrictions apply.)

Towards the end of the game, you are asked to enter your UK phone number into browser to help Marie escape. A call is triggered from the web browser using our PhonoSDK and Tropo call transfer technology to connect the phone call from within the game!
