Sherlock Holmes

I'm working on a fun project for a client, 7-Eleven, and want to spread the word about a clue in the movie, Sherlock Holmes. 7-Eleven is helping its customers get clued in to the Sherlock Holmes Online Experience. There are actually clues in the movie's opening scenes that tie in with the promotion. As part of the movie's advance teaser campaign, an online, viral challenge invites amateur detectives to play as either of the main characters - Sherlock Holmes or Dr. John Watson. The experience can be found at www.221B.sh (which reflects Holmes' London address of 221B Baker Street). 7-Eleven coffee-drinkers who want to get hot on the trail of the challenge can get a head start with the co-branded "How Holmes Are You?" coffee cup sleeves. The sleeves contain a clue and web address, www.7-11.221B.sh, which connects consumers to a unique 7-Eleven 221B microsite. Players who successfully complete a fingerprint matching game will earn an exclusive clue to help them solve the mystery afoot within the main 221B experience. The primary Sherlock Holmes online challenge reveals clues leading up to the movie's opening scene, and also gives a hint to the 7-Eleven promotional partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures. One of the pieces of evidence is a vintage newspaper that features a front page ad for "Joe C. Thompson's Coffee Emporium-Open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m." In 1927, Joe C. Thompson Jr. founded The Southland Ice Company, the precursor to the 7-Eleven convenience-store chain.  (Monday Dec 14 | post #1)
