The wolf in the Be bad
wood or be good...
Game
The game is about the story of the wolf. Would you eat the grandmother if you have children to feed, or would you let them starve to death? The gamer gets desicions to make in the storyline and each decision is another story told. At the end of the game some players would have killed by the hunter but some ‘wolves’ would survive and win the game. So the player has to choose between the good and the bad in every decision they make in the game.
Social Media Part one: Characters of the real story will have several social media accounts like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and they can give clues and hints about the actual game and the story. By example: the hunter can warn the users for the wolf season Or Red Riding Hood is telling her followers what a nice day it is and that she will go visit her grandma and after that she is posting a photo on Instagram that she went off the path and is discovering a whole new world. The characters can also interact with the players of the game on social media.
Part two: On Facebook there will be a ‘discussion room’ where gameplayers can share their stories and use their skills to mislead the other players so they can win the game on their own. Think about the dutch game ‘Wie is de Mol’ and the viewers sharing their ‘Molboekje’.
Part three: In the beginning of the game you can make a selfie and replace it into your selfmade character, so you can replace your head on the wolf’s head so you will become the character. Then there’s is this chance you can make a selfie of your wolf character involving your own face, and put this also on social media and share it on this gameplayers’ room on Facebook.
Social Media Why using Social Media? The players of the game can win prices by playing the game, in two ways:
One:
By making this selfie of yourself being a wolf, and sharing it on facebook. The best selfie is the winner
Two:
By playing the actual game and in the end the person who is not killed by the hunter but lives happily ever after(and with an empty stomach perhaps)
Rewards The winners of the two parts are getting VIP- tickets of the Grande PremiĂŠre of the Virtual Reality game(see the last part of this book) in de Efteling
But wait, there’is more..... They also get the comic book they made with the screenshots printed as a real book at home as a big reward.
Comic Book Players of the game make decisions all the time. Which way of the storyline should they choose and what path in the woods attracts their curiosity to explore? When players choose a storyline or path, a screenshot is taken. The screenshots display the decisions in the game and will be content for a personalised comic book players will receive on their email address after the game is played. This comic book is interactive but contains the actual choices made in the game. Within this book, the players can explore their own choices with additional information about the wolf in the woods. We all know the sadly end of the wolf in the wood, but will the players make other choices in the storyline or will they dive deep inside the wolf in the wood?
Virtual Reality Game The last part of our transmedia storytelling campaign of Red Riding Hood is the virtual reality game. It is an expansion of the real game. The main character of the game is the wolf (you) and what happens with him is your decision. The story can end up like the story of Red Riding Hood or you can perhaps escape grandma’s house if you play the game well. This project is in cooperation with team park ‘the Efteling’ in Holland. So in the team park there will be a place where you can escape this escape room that looks exactly like the house of grandma at ‘the Efteling’.
The wolf (you) always ends up in the house (via game 1). This is because the wolf always wants to catch Red Riding Hood and grandma because he’s hungry, it’s his character and it’s how the fairy tail is known with children by Grimm. When the wolf is in the house then it becomes an escape room. There is only one way he can escape the hunter. Of course there isn’t much time, the hunter will be there soon. During the escape you have to take decisions, find clues how you can escape, resolve some cases etc. And if you accomplish, only then the wolf (you) can escape granny’s house. This house is seen by an Oculus Rift.
