The Jeep-in Game

Jeep Poland launched Jeep-in, a geo location game, which turned Poland into a big treasure map. To play it people had to go off-road. Every player received a map with the exact location of the awards. To win one had to find the point, go there and Jeep-in (check-in). The awards were put in the most remote and hard to get places in Poland. The player who at the end had the highest number of points won a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
