We wanted to create the best produced mystery-box anyone had ever seen! We carefully curated the items to surprise and excite the players, selecting a mix of quirky objects like a rubber snake, fuzzy mascot stuffed animals, and various food types. The goal was to encourage playful competition, knowing that unexpected textures would spark some great reactions. The players' enthusiasm, along with their teammates cheering them on, made the activation a standout success at media day!
