Jam3 Byzantium Tests (2012)

We're not for everyone. Just the 1% that matters.

Project Overview

As part of a wider promotion for Cinemax's Hunted, we wanted to create a story experience within a game-like setting, that slowly revealed the darker, more complex nature of the fictional company at the heart of the show. Our brief was to create a dynamic entertainment experience with built-in social sharing, that introduced the lead character, and created buzz in advance of the show premiere. Developed with a cognitive psychologist, the site offers a series of five increasingly creepy tests, with a killer finale that has to be seen to be believed
