The interactive game used incredible WebGL graphics and real time flight search data to bring life to this spinning globe. To start the game users had to spin the visually stunning globe to land on one out of five destinations. Each destination was carefully crafted using polygon graphics and animations and with strong references to the actual landmarks of the destination. Within the given time it was up to the user to collect Cheapflights coins to participate in the competition for winning flight tickets. Once you had visited one city you could spin the globe for a second, third, fourth and fifth turn.
