In an unprecedented move from a major game developer, Supercell has given fans the chance to get real-life revenge on the team responsible for one of its games.
Fans of Clash of Clans, one of the world's most downloaded mobile games*, tuned into the Revenge Room live stream to unleash years of frustration on the game team.
The Revenge Room - a spectacular apology to fans from the Clash of Clans team - came after years of the game's Revenge Button not working properly. Now fixed, the button lets players wreak vengeance on rivals who've just attacked their village.
Across the eight hour stream where over a million fans tuned in, the employees were subjected to a series of bizarre punishments while meeting to discuss topics such as future game updates and potential roadmap plans.
The punishments were all inspired by the popular mobile game, including 'Giant Gas' which filled the room with green smoke and horrible smells, 'Elixir Leak' saw purple slime drip from the ceiling onto the heads of the Supercell team and 'Foam Spell' consumed the room with bubbles, before being blown around furiously in a storm.
One of the Revenge Room participants was Sabrina Carmona, the newly installed Head of Clash of Clans who's only just started at the company. Going into the live stream, Sabrina said: "Our players are what makes Clash of Clans such an iconic game and we want them to know they're being heard, especially when we've taken so long to fix a key feature. This is my first month in the role and I can't think of a better way to get to know our players!"
