Young Lions 2019: Digital Winner

When you have a life-threatening food allergy, every bite you take is a game of life or death. But most people don’t think the danger is real. So to prove it to a Millennial target, End Allergies Together (E.A.T.) teams up with 2019’s biggest battle royale game, Apex Legends, to bring a unique set of weapons to its arsenal — food. Proving that when you have life-threatening allergies, these ingredients can be just as deadly.

We made donating an integral part of gameplay by featuring special-edition defenses against the new killer foods in the game’s shop.

Players can donate their Apex Coins to unlock limited-edition E.A.T. protective skins. like the one below, that defend against one of the eight new food allergens. So while players increase their chances of survival in the game, they’ll help save lives in the real world, too.

 
 

As players pick up and use the new weapons in the game, they learn about the real dangers of food allergies.

We timed our launch with the E3 Expo, and hosted a “Twitchathon” to celebrate the release of the new weapons. Apex Legends influencers played alongside real gamers with allergies, and viewers could donate to E.A.T. directly through the platform.
