Leo Burnett offers the latest incarnation of Nintendo’s Game Boy as a ready escape hatch from life’s more boring moments.

The agency’s $75 million campaign behind the Game Boy Advance breaks this week with a TV spot set in a church. Subsequent spots will be set in locations also known to cause boredom or anxiety, including an airport and a doctor’s waiting room, said John Brokenbrough, creative director and copywriter for the campaign.

“The Game Boy [Advance] becomes your portable escape hatch,” Brokenbrough said.
