When a number of people send me a link to the same site, there’s a good chance that it’s pretty decent. Such is the case with this new site from the energetic crew at Red Bull.
You are probably familiar with their advertising slogan, “Red Bull Gives You Wings”, and their loopy animated ads that have clearly been translated from the original German. Well, now Red Bull really DOES give you wings, of the virtual model airplane type, in the “Red Bull Flugtag Flight Lab Online Game”. The well-designed site lets you make your own plane (you choose the materials, paint it and even upload a photo to decorate it with). Then you can fly it. Or, as was the case in my personal experience, crash it into the ocean after flapping wildly around a bit.
Apparently more skilled fliers can pick up points and come back to play again and again. I am certainly not the target, but I can see how it could be addictive for some people. Probably the same kids who are addicted to the drink.
