Are you bored? Do this. Click the picture or here http://bit.ly/bbSvSCadbury’s Boredem buster.
London 08 September 2011: In a bid to quash the 5,120 Tweeters per hour (that’s 85 per minute) who are compelled to tweet about being bored[1], Cadbury @SpotsvStripes has launched The Boredom Buster, a hugely addictive and unique game that aims to literally eradicate boredom from the Twitterverse. And in the lead up to the greatest games of all, presents itself as the first opportunity for Twitter users to play their way to London 2012 Olympic Games tickets. The game, developed by PrettyGreen Digital as part of the Cadbury Spots v Stripes Minute To Win It campaign, invites users to obliterate tweets of those complaining they are bored and share the game to relieve those inflicted by boredom.Two versions of the game exist, one for mobile and another for desktop use. The mechanic however remains the same. The Boredom Buster trawls Twitter for “bored” tweets in real-time and pulls these into the game towards a controllable canon at various speeds and trajectories. As the game is linked to Twitter API, the gameplay is different every time subject to how many people are bored on Twitter at that time.At the end of the adrenalin-pumping minute, players are told how many “bored” tweets they busted, or missed, and have the option to share their score. Players can also let those whose tweets they’ve busted know that they’ve eradicated their virtual boredom. Everybody who registers their score is entered into a weekly prize draw to win London 2012 tickets and each week 3 lucky players, who have shared their scores on Twitter, will also win a luxurious Cadbury chocolate hamper.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr78kolfj91qa79lmo1_500.jpg)
