Overview

Description

The Tickerbox Race, a unique Twitter-based game where you race a soapbox of your choice on an obstacle course of tweets.

For racers, the longer you stay on the road, the more points you get. But you could also participate by tweeting about the race and using the #tickerbox hash tag. Every tweet becomes an obstacle that could knock another racer out. Goodies were on offer for both the best racers and people whose tweets knocked racers out.
