GT RIDE – Viral Gaming for Kia

With the aim of encouraging a target group that is not yet familiar with the brand to get to know Kia’s pro_cee’d GT model, this mobile gaming app tracks the behaviour of Internet users who are almost constantly online with the aim of appealing to their high affinity towards innovative gaming. In order to establish a relation to the product, this app reflects the advantages and characteristics of the pro_cee’d GT and translates them into an exciting media experience with an emphasis on dynamism, sportiness and innovation. Users learn everything about this car in a playful way as they are invited to build their own racing track by moving and tilting their smartphones. The axis sensors inside the users’ smartphones or tablets then record the positioning data, which the app uses to calculate an individual 3D track. Based on hand gestures, this individualisation of the track ensures an intensive gaming experience. Another feature of the game is the possibility of sharing tracks and fastest times with friends on Facebook.
