2017. Wieden+Kennedy Portland
Built in Brazil at our São Paulo Makers Lab, Shared Quests Uniting Individual Dudes is a Twitch experiment in which 8 random ‘dudes’ control a robotic kraken over the internet. Playing out over 3 days, a rotating group of users had to mass-maneuver an Animatronic 1000-Moving Parts Monster through a series of 12 live-streamed quests. Users could control the kraken by sending commands to the robotic tentacles to conquer ‘real-man’ challenges, such as working at a pizza parlor. The idea was to somehow work together and learn about manhood in a state of orchestrated chaos (Old Spice makes scents, not sense).
During the three days of the campaign, S.Q.U.I.D. became the No. 1 channel on Twitch with a some two million view from 1.3 million unique users. During the final hours of the campaign, over 30.000 users were watching the stream simultaneously.
