The Brief
The Golden Mission Games for the 50th anniversary of ASEAN-Japan Friendship
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation was a significant milestone, marking half a century of productive relations between ASEAN countries and Japan. The challenge was to commemorate this occasion effectively, engaging a broad audience across both digital and physical realms and educating participants about the ASEAN-Japan relationship. The Golden Mission Games, developed and managed by our team, were central to addressing this challenge, offering an interactive, educational, and entertaining experience through online games that were accessible across the ASEAN region and Japan, alongside an offline scavenger hunt at the Jak Japan Matsuri event.
Objectives
Engage Audiences Across Platforms: Create an educational experience that bridges digital and physical engagement through the Golden Mission Games, enhancing awareness of the ASEAN-Japan relationship.
Our Approach
Innovative Game Design and Digital Integration
To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation, our strategy involved a blend of digital and physical engagement methods. Our multifaceted approach included:
Innovative Game Design: We developed 11 unique online challenges, including quizzes and mobile games, providing an interactive learning experience about ASEAN-Japan cooperation.
Bilingual Website Development: We created a bilingual (English and Japanese) digital platform, aseanjapan50.org, to act as the hub for the Golden Mission Games, facilitating information dissemination, registration, and participation.
Content Creation and Social Media Engagement: We crafted engaging content for the website and social media channels to drive traffic and participation, highlighting the cultural and historical significance of the ASEAN-Japan relationship.
Offline Event Integration: We extended the gaming experience to the physical world with an offline version of the Golden Mission at the Jak Japan Matsuri, enhancing direct engagement and participation.
