The Scrabble Delire 'The Block Project' ad and accompanying publicity stunt was created to promote the launch of Scrabble Delire in France. It essentially takes over an apartment facade, filling it with a cast of unusual characters and scenarios to enthrall passersby.
From a dragon to a princess, brass band, gorilla and policeman, this Scrabble ad looks like something out of my nightmares.
Implications - The featured video shows off the wacky publicity stunt while playing an oddball song in the background. People walking the streets stop and stare as mysterious shadows walk past the lit windows and the whole room appears to be completely upside down! The people who got to see this amazing production sure got a great show. Perhaps they will be interested in buying the new Scrabble Délire game that features enhanced objectives such as writing works backwards.
