Result
For the first season of the TV series, we designed and developed the website that served as the container of the transmedia universe of “La Peste” (The plague). Week after week, new content created across the internet (youtube channels, podcasts, social media accounts, wiki) was published on the website, which also allowed “La Peste” fans to get educated through the changes experienced in the city since the 16th century throughout video documentaries and interactive maps.
For the second season, called “La Garduña existe”, we designed and developed the Web App for the Alternative Reality Game that was put in place in the city of Seville. “La Peste” fans became part of the game and they were requested to resolve some challenges online and physically throughout the city of Seville to earn points and uncover the villains.
The Plague’s Transmedia Universe is the transmedia expansion of the fictional series produced by Movistar+, The Plague. This project is made up of more than 350 minutes of audiovisual content, spread throughout 8 formats addressed to different audiences. Every fan of the show can explore The Plague’s universe in every way they prefer: through documentaries, podcasts, websites, geolocated tours, cooking shows, youtubers and making-ofs.
