Game background:
This game was first designed for a WestJet promotion as part of a viral contest-based microsite that was used to promote their sponsorship of a large Canadian golf tournament. It featured WestJet's well known sense of humour to engage players in a quick, fun, and challenging game. A viral sensation, this game put out some really impressive numbers and gave WestJet the hole-in-one they were looking for. Since then, it has become part of SplashDot’s stable of games that can be quickly adapted to a company’s brand and creative.
