In collaboration Activision's Call of Duty, snack brand Mattessons released 'Code Strike' as a code-breaking challenge app to test players.
Just like Call of Duty WWII, Code Strike is set around the time period where the Enigma code was broken. On the iOS and Android game, players are challenged to "gather intel and take down the enemy," all the while competing challenges to get 2XP codes to enhance the Call of Duty WWII gaming experience.
Live social media events with YouTube gamers and promotional packs of Fridge Raiders with 2XP codes are being used to support the launch of the Code Strike app. Ultimately, 15 top players will be invited into a face-to-face competition in partnership with Cyber Security Challenge UK.
