20th CENTURY FOX, GULLIVER'S TRAVELS - SOCIAL GAME FEATURE 

Neoganda was also interested in being considered for a project offered by 20th Century Fox for the movie, Gulliver's Travels. Promoters of the film were interested in developing a compelling social feature for sites like Facebook. 

Neoganda came up with the following list of concepts.

(1)Similar game to Guitar Hero

• works like this http://www.forbiddenkingdommovie.com/game/
• use the number keys to play a song and get a score. Challenge friends to beat this score

(2) Rock Lyrics

• A line from a rock song is presented to the player. They have to guess the title
• What format is this game/quiz? Facebook app? e-card?

(3) Lilliputian Official Speaketh App

• Write a note to your friends. Translater adds "-eth" to the end of words
• Send to your friends
• Is this a third party app that lives on the Gulliver's Travel's main site? Facebook app?

(5) Building game

• based on client's suggestion (getting Lilliputian players to build something)
• they can build a battleship for example
• this is on the main site?

(6) Full page ad

• Whirlpool to Lilliput
• Ad displays a whirlpool in action which then displays the main site

7. Tourbook

• Do users turn pages by mousing over the top right corner of the book?
• Content is static
• Book lives on the main site and can be shared
• Facebook connect can pull names of friends into the book so that it can be personalized and shared

8. E-card- Upload yourself as Gulliver

• Users can upload their photo and crop out the head.
• System seamlessly masks Jack Black's head with user's image
• Send to a friend
• on main site and on Facebook page as an app?

9. Facebook app Collective game

• be able to play with your friends.

Here is the concept that I further outlined in a document that I had drafted. The contents were used within the official submission to Fox. 

Concept Summary

• The Gulliver’s Travel’s rivalry of the little people will be recreated as a social game on Facebook. Users can participate either as Lilliputians or Blefuscians to see which side can build the bigger online nation. The objective will be to recruit the most soldiers and incur the fewest number of traitors. Players will act on behalf of themselves as well as patriots of Lilliputia and Blefuscia

• Because Facebook users can actively recruit their friends which is the main goal of the actual game, this application has enormous viral potential. Participants from all around the world will enjoy playing as Lilliputians and Blefuscians.

How to Play

• Profile pictures of all players will be displayed on the interface along with other details (e.g. blurbs they write about themselves, points, status etc.)

• Players can join by downloading the app. They can also join by being recruited through a friend invitation.

• Players who download the app will be required to take a personality quiz. This will determine which side they will join.

• Those who receive an invitation to play can choose the same side as their friend. They also have the option to betray their friend and join the other side. They will be labeled as a “traitor” on the game interface.

• Players who recruit the highest number of friends will receive special rank as a “general.” These points will be displayed on their profile picture.

• Each nation will choose their princess through a voting process. Female players can opt to be considered for this voting process. Or they can decline.

• The side who gains the most soldiers through betrayals is allowed to kidnap the princess from the other side.
