Turkey Games

Thanksgiving is next week, so I thought that this would be a perfect oppurtuinty to to do a blog about a really awesome thankgiving advergame. Sadly though, I'm not sure if one exists. After doing a bit of reasearch I did find a few advergames that related Thankgivng but none I was very impressed with. Probably the best game a I found was called Turkey To Go. Gamers of Turkey To Go play as a bald turkey who scoots around a table clother to collect his feathers. Forks also fly around the table cloth hindering the turkey's feather collecting.

While the game is mildly amusing, it gets boring pretty quickly. Every level is pretty much the same so the game isn't very engaging. And why would you want to help a turkey collect his feathers? If anything, I want to play a game where I can pluck a turkey, cook a turkey, and/or eat a turkey. Isn't that what Thankgiving is about? An advergame would the perfect oppurtunity for Butteball. Some one may be doing some online research about cooking a Thankgiving meal and come across an advergame by Butterball. The game could then lead players to recipes and a guide on how to cook a turkey. While I have yet to find such a game on Butterball's website there is hope for the future. Christmas time usuually holds ample oppurtunities for marketers to launch holiday themed advergames. So... instead of doing all your Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving, I'd get a head start on all the holiday advergames.
