Asylum 626

Asylum 626 another excellent online video campaign from Doritos, we recently blogged about the Doritos ID3 Campaign running in the UK last month.

This month sees a US take on a similar style of site, welcome to Asylum 626.

Asylum 626

The site sets the scene very well with very little dialogue and lots of ambient sound and creepy visuals as you are dragged through the Asylum.

Asylum 626 Scary

Very few sites could actually be described as scary, the Asylum is reminiscent of old hammer horror films with a touch of Capcom’s Resident Evil game.

Asylum 626

The site has some very interesting Facebook integration, pulling profile pictures of friends into the site and posting links to your profile asking friends to help.

Asylum 626 Facebook Integration

Once your friend has agreed to help they can shout or type to free you, in my case I was left to rot.

Facebook Help

All in all an excellent website, you can check out www.asylum626.com or watch the trailer.

The site is open from 6pm to 6am, a simple time change on your clock will let you in.

Then once they’ve had a chance to try the jeans on, we encourage them to come back to our ‘Born to Fit’ community to share their opinions, style tips or even create their own ‘Born to’ expression.” – Quote Courtesy of New Media Age
