Leo's Red Carpet Rampage

Get Leonardo DiCaprio an Oscar or die trying in Leo’s Red Carpet Rampage, an arcade style platform game where you mash your keyboard as fast as you can to race down the red carpet on a quest for an Oscar.

This online viral hit game was shared by millions of people world wide weeks before the Oscar ceremony in 2016 and was an online sensation.

LA Times wrote: "Games rarely delve into of-the-moment political satire, and the tone throughout "Leo's Red Carpet Rampage" is just nutty enough that when the game nods to the #OscarsSoWhite movement, it isn't heavy-handed. In fact, "Leo's Red Carpet Rampage" succeeds at mocking the lack of diversity among the Academy Awards nominees while playing up the ridiculousness of award campaigns in general."

Leo's Red Carpet Rampage was made in the span of about 3 weeks after it was conceived in a silly late night pub session. Within 3 hours of posting, it popped up on Buzzfeed and Mashable, quickly followed up by The Hollywood Reporter, GQ, and The Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon. The game has racked up more than 3 million plays worldwide and continues to receive a surprising number of daily plays.
