Background

Tencent Medipedia is an online content platform, which provides scientific and reliable medical knowledge for Internet users. However, after going online, it can't attract consumers' attention at all. We found that the general public feel that the medical science knowledge has nothing to do with themselves. How to attrract their concern to make medical science knowledge be widely discussed and disseminated? This is our challenge.

Idea

We created a H5 game "Hide and Seek". 10 most influential world-wide viruses in history is hidden in the game. We redesigned them artistically based on real virus structures and re-presented them to the public, so that the mysterious virus is no longer mysterious. People can stitch the pieces together and find antidote of virus according to the game tips. Through this interactive way, it will interest people to have curious about medical knowledge.

Then the users who participated in the game can compete with each other on the social platform. This let this viral game "Hide and Seek", really got viral spread.

Execution

First, we picked 10 viruses from thousands of discovered human diseases in many centuries. Redesigned it artistically based on real virus structures. This made those unknown virus esthest and antidotes turned into an eye-catching art work. Then We use advanced algorithms and programming to enable complex structures to interact smoothly in H5 programs.

The users were invited to find the special angle through puzzle interaction to unlock the final answers. They would become new users of Tencent Medipedia , when they completed the game successfully.

We also designed a speed-racing mechanism that allows users to compete with each other on social platforms, which further enhancing the spread.
