Branded HTML5 Games

L E T ' S B E G I N W I T H A T I S S O T S T O R Y

In February of this year, the famous watch company Tissot launched a casual

game on their official website. The game, entitled Tissot Tackle, was part of

their ad campaign as a proud sponsor of the 2016 RBS 6 Nations Championship.

Fans of rugby flocked to their website to beat each other’s high scores for a

chance to win a brand new Tissot timepiece.

The winner of the watch scored more than 260 tries.

People who tried playing the game probably spent more than 30 seconds being

engaged with the Tissot brand. 30 seconds is the average length of a TV ad.

Reskinning HTML5 Games

The budget and time spent

on creating the game were

only a tiny fraction of what

the company would have

spent on a TV ad.

Actually, the budget and

time spent on creating the

game were much less than

that for developing a game

from scratch.

It gets better forthe advertiser

The practice of modifying the graphics, sounds,

and other superficial details while retaining the

source code of the game. Also called Rebranding.

In the case of Tissot, the original code came from a

game called Touchdown Pro.

HTML5 is the state of the art of the internet. It is the most widely supported

across devices and operating systems. An HTML5 game only has to be built

once, and it will function seamlessly on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and

other devices. It will work perfectly whether you are using Windows, iOS,

Linux, or any operating system.
