Ubisoft already has one game up and running on a new Facebook portal it just opened. TickTock tests your knowledge of your friends and then, naturally, pesters you to pester them.
In the game, youāre given a series of recent status updates and asked to identify, by multiple choice, who wrote them. Fast answering is key, otherwise a ābombā goes off. At the end of the game, you get to send ābombsā to others ā basically invitations to play ā from the stockpile you earn by guessing correctly. āLifelinesā extend the time you have to answer, in case you just have no idea whose status update reads: āJust christened the commode in my new apartment.ā
Laurent Detoc, the president of Ubisoft North America, said TickTock will be āthe first of many applications that weāre building for our UbiFriends portal.ā
Itās not on the clichĆ© level of pirates, ninjas, zombies, vampires or throwing sheep at one another. Yet. But its spread still depends on the āso-and-so did something, donāt you want to do it, too?ā model, and for many, the answer will still be āno.ā
