Petting Party

Jenga is one of those games that everyone has played at some point in their life, and the later in life you play it, the more likely you are to be pissed and devoid of hand-to-eye co-ordination when extracting those wooden blocks.

Luckily, Kit Kat Australia thought round this and invented their own jenga, which to be frank, you’re not likely to play pissed but more at your office desk. Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present….. “Chunga”. Created to promote the new Cookies’n'Cream Kit Kat, there was a Chunga-master character created who was purported to be a cross between Will Ferrell and Jack Black, there was a Facebook and Myspace multi-player game, and a five-part mockumentary on Youtube. Sadly, as with many digital promotions, it didn’t last long and I can’t provide you with any linkage. However, I don’t think you’re missing out much as the game would have no doubt been based on many other digital versions of Jenga. WHICH ARE SHIT….

Footnote:

1. You successfully move a block? Your opponent drinks. They successfully move a block? You take a drink. Tower falls over? Lots of drinks. Then *you* fall over.
