The Great Delivery Game

QAS (Quick Address Software) is a company that helps organizations worldwide verify addresses accurately. This Experian company conducts strictly Business to Business commerce. When QAS wanted to get the word out about their software, they hired Silverscape. Silverscape is a marketing strategy, technology and design firm.

Silverscape created an online game called The Great Delivery Race. This game allows users to deliver items to houses in a neighborhood. Users can choose to drive a Mini Cooper, monster truck, or delivery truck. You can also choose to deliver things like monkeys, puppies, or even toupees. There are different bonuses and obstacles on the way. Players have one minute to deliver three packages in a style similar to Pac-Man. This game is fun and gets players engaged. The page features a link to more information about the software.

I spent awhile playing this game and found it really fun and interactive. I submitted my highest score of 6100 and I wasn't even in the top 100. The user with the highest score had 10,550 points. So obviously, some people are spending a long time play this game! I think QAS did a good job bringing the creativity to a rather mechanical market. When users finish a game, they have the option of sending it to a friend. When you send it, your friend receives an email that reads:



"Hey,

You have to check out this game! It's called the Great Delivery Race and while it only takes a minute to play, you won't be able to stop. First you pick your vehicle, what to deliver and then try to get it to the destination before time runs out. I just delivered puppies in an Off-Road Super-Truck. Watch out for the road kill and make sure you get extra points by letting Grandma cross the street!

Bet you can't beat my score 5100. Here's the game: http://www.qas.com/greatrace
