Inspired by the success of its Call of the Cold campaign, Jägermeister introduced a new, retro web-based gaming experience called Ice Cold Justice. Now playable on the brand's site, Ice Cold Justice is a timing-based button-masher in the style of a 16-bit arcade fighting game—and fans will recognize the iconic Stag character from Call of the Cold.
Players are tasked with defeating villains like Sleepy Sal, The Wall, Swanky Pete, Jukebox Hog and Mr. Grump, who all want to get in the way of enjoying Jägermeister ice cold shots with friends. The best of the best Ice Cold Justice players who land a coveted spot at the top of the leaderboard will win weekly prizes, like gaming consoles, a custom cornhole set, and event tickets.
