Kubo & the Two Strings

Browser-based WebGL games

Kubo Arcade

Kubo and the Two Strings is an epic action-adventure film from acclaimed animation studio LAIKA. As part of the film‘s promotion we were briefed by W+K Portland to create 5 browser-based games for desktop and mobile. Each game ties into key narrative scenes from the film and re-interprets them as fun interactive experiences. Built in WebGL, each game works natively in browsers on desktop computers and mobile devices.

Air Jordan XV

Another key element to the films promotion was the design of the custom Kubo + Air Jordan XV shoe. We created the final game that featured Kubo facing off against the Moon Beast. This tied into an online leader board that rewarded the first 250 players with a pair of these limited edition shoes.
