Boostin’ Nuts
Circa 2008, this easter egg game was snuck into the Jeep.com site. All the development, design, animation, etc was done in-between meetings by a super passionate crew that I was fortunate to be a part of.
The game itself was a sendup of the very popular bounce-and-collect games of the time. However, this one was supposed to be a secret. But after 50,000 or so players found it and shared it, Jeep decided to give it and official spot in the games section Jeep.com as well as developing it as a Facebook game where it was played well over 100,000 times with an average play of 33 times per player.

Gameplay
This is pretty straightforward. Playing off massively popular mobile games of the time (specifically Doodle Jump) we made our own branded version of such a game. Nothing ground breaking, but we still thought it would be fun to build out a game and sneak it onto the client’s site.
Reaction
Once we admitted there was a secret game on Jeep.com, the client thankfully loved it. We then officially added it to the “games” section of the site (remember when those were a thing?) and redeveloped it to play on Facebook so you could compete against friends for the high score.
