On 29 January 2021, OMEN – HP’s gaming brand – presented the ‘OMEN Challenge - The Video Game Game Show’ livestream event. An online experience, the event introduced the OMEN Gaming Hub while offering a fresh perspective on the world of gaming. Players from all over the US competed to win an ultimate battle station kitted out with the latest OMEN products. Infinity Marketing Team was entrusted to provide virtual event production service for the programme.
Virtual spectators were greeted with witty punchlines from popular moderator and comedian Ron Funches as he introduced the talent-heavy eight-person line-up consisting of the National Football League players and popular content creators.
The competition consisted of seven rounds of gameplay, each level kicking off with trivia questions and a promise of ‘immunity’ for the player with the most correct answers. Conversely, in the video game tournament that followed, one player would be eliminated from each round, narrowing the field until only the champion remained. Each round featured a unique themed environment designed by professional artists.
Viewers got involved right alongside the competitors by answering questions from their personal accounts, vying for the chance to win the latest line of products.
