With Cannes Lions each year comes a conversation about the prohibitive cost of award entry for independent agencies vying against the capital might of major networks—as well as the lavishness of the occasion.

Developed by Brooklyn-based creative agency Scout Lab, the single-player game is a “tongue-in-cheek activation” that underscores the point that while creative ideas are free, entering Cannes is anything but, creating a lack of access to businesses that wish to compete.
