Deliciously Dark Escape is a new video game from Trolli that tasks players with delivering worm avatars into hungry mouths. The game plays with fun Internet themes and references everything from glitches and bots to firewalls. The video game, developed with Active Theory and PlayStation as the exclusive prizing partner, can be accessed by scanning a QR code on specially marked packages of Trolli gummy worms. Scanning the connected packaging helps to connect players to a 14-day PlayStation Plus trial plus other exclusives like a Trolli Dynamic Theme for PS4.
Since kids across the country will be celebrating Halloween in different ways this year due to the pandemic, the Deliciously Dark Escape game offers a fun way to engage young fans from home.
