Angry Birds Radox

Angry Birds Radox (also known as Venatus Angry Birds) is a web game, advertising Radox 12HR Scent Body Wash. The game can be played at the Mraid.io website. The game is loosely based off Angry Birds 2 but the physics are nothing alike.

Gameplay
Just like most Angry Birds games the main premise of this game is to knock down the Bad Piggies structures by slinging your bird at them. One of the core features of the Scent Touch range was the 'touch-on-release' technology to trigger longer-lasting scent. This feature flowed into the campaign creative by encouraging players to touch a mobile screen to release the Angry Birds. Players could also interact with the fragrance ingredients by collecting them, such as coconuts and blueberries, as they floated above the scaffolding in bubbles, with them replacing the stars. It is only 1 level long

The game uses the card system from Angry Birds 2, but you can't switch between birds when one is on the slingshot. The birds don't have any sort of unique abilities and instead rely on their speed and strength

Birds

 * Red - The most neutral bird. He is the most normal bird in the game, as both his strength and speed are medium.
 * Chuck - The fastest bird. Probably the best in the game, Chuck is extremely fast and covers a lot of distance, but he is relatively weak.
 * Bomb - The strongest bird. He is very strong and can plow through materials, although this compensates for his speed which is quite slow.
 * Jay (Non-Playable) - He only appears in the intro, and while he follows alongside the birds going to the pigs he is never seen elsewhere in the game.

Pigs

 * Minion Pig - They appear at the far right of the level and can actually roll off screen if you manage to hit them but not kill them, meaning you can't pop them. They are weak but the position they stand at makes it hard to pop them.
 * Umbrella Pig - They appear at the left of the level and can be killed easily by launching Chuck or Bomb at them.
 * Foreman Pig - The strongest pig in the game, he sits at the middle of the level and can be killed easily by Bomb.

New Features

 * Radox Bottles - They cannot be destroyed and can instead be pushed into materials, destroying them.

Development
Ahead of the release of their Scent Touch product range, Radox wanted to create an innovative campaign that would raise awareness of their new products. A partnership between Radox and Rovio formed to enable Radox to reach their target audience in what they described as a "new, fun and interactive environment." Venatus worked with Radox and Rovio to design a bespoke branded Angry Birds game level. The game featured the classic Angry Birds slingshot game mechanic with a Radox twist - players would throw birds at Radox Scent Touch bottles, these bottles made up the game's famous scaffolding target alongside the green pigs.

The campaign delivered to females aged 25- 44 across the Angry Birds apps, up-weighting to times of day when this audience was most likely to be playing the game, e.g. during commuting and meal times.

Reception
The game integration surpassed all of Unilever's brand objectives and delivered incredible awareness of the Scent Touch range. The partnership with Rovio also saw the campaign achieve high levels of engagement through the branded game level.

The campaign generated more than 3 million game starts, with 2.3 million completed plays of the branded game level. The campaign reached an impressive 2.5 million unique users, and almost 4% of players clicked through to the product website.

Venatus also ran a brand study that recorded a 66% brand uplift between pre- and post-exposure to the game.

The campaign won Most Effective Native Advertising Campaign at the 2017 EMMA Awards, commenting of the campaign, the judges said: "This was a very clever integration of branded materials into a game, which delivered excellent results for the client. It was also good to see a campaign that recognised that women are a major mobile gaming audience and leveraged that fact."
