Happy Hour is an advergame I designed and programmed to promote Spooky Action Theater's interactive production of the same name, made with the Goethe-Institut. Players guide the character Pippa through a quick platformer and end up at the theater's website to learn more or buy a ticket.

Spooky Action's artistic director Richard Henrich called the preview-party demo “a huge success.” Made for Spooky Action Theater, Washington, DC.

Designer & programmer, Boris Willis · Spooky Action Theater & Goethe-Institut
