Introduction

In celebration of OPCF’s 20th anniversary, their first “Charity Run” was organised to raise fund for its Asian wildlife conservation efforts. The concept of the popular zombie run was turned into an adventure for participants to experience the marine ecosystem as “Marine Animal” and “Conservationist”. We’ve created the concept and developed an interactive website for the event.

Aims

As the only source of information about the charity run, we have built the bilingual, parallax scrolling, interactive microsite and developed its content strategy with aims to

  • Introduce the game logic of the Charity Run to the participants

  • Encourage public to register

  • Provide conservation knowledge for visitors which also serves as a part of the game (Content on the microsite provides tips about how to finish the Charity Run faster)

Content Strategy

We have created and developed the content, visuals, and animations for the Charity Run event website. The creative concept goes with the racing theme. It encourages visitors to actively explore and interact with the website content, thus to boost registration.

Character Design

  • Marine Animal: Complete the Charity Run as soon as possible while avoiding attacks of the “Ocean Killers” (OPCF staff acts as Ocean Killers who steal the two life flags of a “Marine Animal”)

  • Conservationist: Protect “Marine Animal” throughout the Charity Run by snatching the arm badges of “Ocean Killers”, which will temporarily stop their movements

Content Creation and Website Design

The graphics and interactions on the website simulate the charity run route, which allows visitors to gradually understand the details of the event, roles of participation, and conservation knowledge.

The information about the Charity Run – Run for Survival – are divided into several sections on the website.

Sample Image
  1. Race Character Introduction: Introduce the missions of “Marine Animal” and “Conservationist”, and provide special tactics to win the Charity Run
  2. Conservation Information: Overview of local marine animals, tips to protect local marine animals
  3. Event Details: Participation categories, requirements, and prizes
  4. Three Major Marine Issues and Solutions: Takeaway messages to remind visitors about local marine issues and how to solve them
