Fishing Game Delivers REAL Fish To Your Doorstep
This looks like the logical evolution of the computerized fishing game: catch a virtual fish, receive a real fish. I know this sounds made up but it isn’t. A game called Ippon Zuri (which means pole-and-line fishing), has teamed up with a local seafood wholesaler to make your virtual catches a reality. Incredibly, this game is played on your cell phone!
To catch a fish players use the phone keys to cast bait to the fish. When the fish takes the bait, the player is sent to a slot machine screen where they try to match three numbers. The virtual fish is hooked and reeled in if all three numbers match. A message is then sent to the wholesaler, who picks up the fish from the local seafood market and delivers it to the player’s doorstep. The fish arrives whole and uncooked!
So whats the catch? Well for starters its pay per play (1,000 yen or approximately $9.25 USD for 3 games), and secondly the deal is only open to you if you live in a certain area of Japan.
Personally I think this is quite ingenious.
