Good to know

Who can vote?

Every Stage Zero team member with a Stage Zero email address. The form asks you to sign in, which is how we keep it to one vote each.

Can I change my vote?

No. Each person can submit once, so play all five before you choose.

Who made these games?

Your colleagues. Names stay hidden until the winner is announced, so every finalist is judged on the game alone.

A game is asking for my details. Should I fill it in?

Several finalists include a lead form, because lead generation was part of the brief. Use test details, such as the name “Test” and 000 000 0000. Please don’t enter real customer information.

A game won’t load or play properly.

Try it in Chrome or Safari on your phone. Solar Defense plays in landscape. Zero Heroes needs camera access. Sundown and Catch the Sunshine work best on a phone. If it still won’t work, let the Digital Marketing team know.

Can I share this page?

Please keep it inside Stage Zero. The games are prototypes and not ready for customers.
