“Hardly any surprise that “Dumb Ways To Die” has got best in show, it’s a hard thing to argue against. It transcended our industry. It got out there, as both a charming narrative, but also a game, which is a very different thing. The ability to write a script, record a song, animate a video is very different to designing good game play and yet they did both at this level that transcended the industry. That’s’ a very are thing to do, it’s like being hit by lighting.” stated Digital Jury President, Nick Law, Global CCO R/GA.
