The Brief

Uncharted 3 required an exciting pre-launch competition to engage consumers through mainstream media prior to the game’s launch. Sponge launched the Uncharted: Treasure Hunter competition, an international search for 20 treasure hunters who would win the opportunity to join the trip of a lifetime – a real life treasure hunt through the Arabian Desert with €10,000 worth of prizes at stake.
