About the Work

Brawl Stars is one of the world’s most popular mobile shooter games, played by millions of people in every country. It features Brawlers fighting inside an abandoned amusement park called Starr Park. For years, Brawl Stars fans have theorized about the game’s backstory. For the 5th anniversary of the game, we decided to let the fans discover the story on their own. We created a six-week long interactive scavenger hunt in the game itself, where players could access a fully immersive interactive CCTV Security Room inside Starr Park as it appeared in 1995. In the CCTV room, players could access five different monitors “live” streaming footage from 54 cameras. The cameras offered an unprecedented view into a fully functioning simulation of Starr Park that we built in Unreal Engine that contained more than 30,000 different park patrons. Fans could monitor the park through the five screens, rewind and fast forward through the footage, read daily journal entries from a fictitious security guard, and listen to voicemails from park patrons calling into Starr Park’s emergency call center. To spark the fans’ curiosity, we hid secret timecodes on Brawl Stars social media posts. Fans could use those codes to unlock early access to animated story drops that showed how Starr Park changed from a regular theme park into a mayhem-filled battleground. The event generated 89 million visits to the CCTV experience, and Brawl Stars fans organically created more than 8500 YouTube videos of their own, with over 130 million views collectively (all with zero media spend.) By the time the campaign was over, the community was ablaze, and the game had reached its highest player numbers in three years.
