<p>The <a href="http://games.yahoo.com/free-games/friskies-wonderland-quest">Friskies Hidden Object Game</a> lets you dive deep into the magical worlds of Friskies in search of hidden brand icons.</p>
<p>This was <strong>Yahoo’s most successful branded game launch ever</strong>. Yahoo guaranteed the brand 500,000 plays within six months; <strong>the game reached over 700,000 people within three weeks</strong>.</p>
<p>My team concepted the game based on the insight that hidden object games skew highly with Friskies’ target consumers; 59% of hidden object gamers are women between ages of 25-54 (source: <em>Media Metrics</em>).</p>
