Trapped! - A Social Game

Trapped!
A Facebook game for an education company.
Topper is an education company with the promise of ‘making learning fun’.

They also have a problem. 
They have to talk to kids about studying.
As every parent or teacher would know, it's no trivial problem.

To try and help, we created a Facebook game with a quirky story: 
A Mad Professor on the loose, trapping kids in his physics-defying dungeon.

The only way to escape? 
Prove you're smart enough. 
By answering syllabus-related questions (sly, eh?). 
And trapping other friends in your place at each step (an in-built sharing mechanism).

The game got over 3000 kids to answer coursework questions, with no media spend.

For once, Mom wasn't yelling at them to get off Facebook.
Answer questions to tilt the hill and move closer to the escape door. 
For every wrong one, trap a friend to balance the hill and stay in the game.
Oh, and did I mention the monkey?

Try it out, if you like, at http://apps.facebook.com/topper-trapped.

A word of warning, though: 
Do you really want to know how many 6th grade questions you can answer?
