Description
DANTE'S INFERNO is EA's ultimate action adventure game, based on DANTE'S "The Divine Comedy".However, this poem is not well-known in Japan, in fact, there is an overwhelming lack of recognition.So we collaborated with the hugely popular hot and spicy ramen restaurant, Nakamoto and turned ramen into a promotional medium for the first time ever. The ramen was sold for a limited time of one month, in nine Nakamoto branches, where people got the chance to experience the 9 levels of hell with our special ramen noodle and bowl.
Execution
We produced a special ramen that embodies DANTE'S INFERNO'S hell in collaboration with the hugely popular hot ramen restaurant, Nakamoto. The ramen was sold for a limited time of one month, in nine Nakamoto branches.As you drink the soup, words that refer to the 9 levels of hell gradually appear. When every last drop is consumed, a QR code allowing people to access a special mobile website appears.
