The driving game was multi-player and [motion controlled](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-chase). Once users connected to the game through their Screach app, their smart device instantly turned into a games controller. The game was created for car insurance company Swiftcover.com.

The game was live for a full day at [Westfield Shopping Mall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/programmatic-targeting-solution) in London, the biggest of its kind in Europe. The Screenreach 'Screach' interactive campaign was a huge success, attracting hundreds of passersby who were fascinated by the game.
