TitleUnlocking Merge Mansion
BriefSince Merge Mansion's release in 2020, the mansion's doors have remained locked, leaving 45 million fans wondering what's inside. After countless hours of gameplay, in the game's biggest update yet, it was time to open the mansion’s doors – both in the game and in real life."Unlocking Merge Mansion" was an immersive experience that brought the game's characters and mysteries to life. The surreal adventure blurred the line between entertainment and reality as participants crawled through fireplaces, dug through pies for clues, and solved escape room style puzzles to uncover Grandma Ursula's secrets. Part live-action theatre, part escape room, and part Instagrammable lore-museum the experience provided ample possibilities for content generation. In addition to user-generated content, we released a post-event cinematic film giving fans worldwide a glimpse inside the mansion and the call to action to download Merge Mansion for a chance to develop their own theories of what Grandma Ursula is hiding.Fans and media alike were dying for more of the lore-filled Merge Mansion universe. With over 1 billion collective impressions, fans worldwide were obsessed with the campaign, joining the investigation to search for answers and share their theories, even igniting rumors of an actual Merge Mansion Movie.
