Night Cap Challenge

Levaquin is an antibiotic drug developed by healthcare company Ortho McNeil, Inc.

The Goal:

As part of Ortho McNeil's medical education initiative, the Falk Group was commissioned to develop a nation-wide contest that would be used to help educate hospital staff on the benefits and applications of Levaquin in the ER. The Falk Group asked us to build an online game where the doctors would sign up as teams for the “Night Cap Challenge” and then go online to answer 5 questions in 5 different categories. At the end of each game there would be a bonus question where the player can wager all or some of their points on the final question.

The Result:

To make it fun and engaging we decided to create the game in the style of a TV game show. Built in Flash the game has an animated host "Eddie" who presents the questions and reacts verbally when you get questions right, wrong. Eddie also provides commentary between rounds and when starting the game. Each team's score is recorded at the end of the round and posted to the score board.
