Execution
Students were introduced to the Egg character through campus events, BBS, and renren.com—China’s most popular social networking site—which led them to the online 3D coin-operated machines on the ThinkPad site, where the capsules and Eggs were released.Augmented Reality, from mobile devices to the website, allowed the Mystery Egg character to demonstrate ThinkPad benefits in a way students thought was cool and entertaining. Collecting all six Eggs released a code, giving them a chance to win a trip to Japan. To receive more chances, students could just send a Mystery Egg invite to a friend.
