Gamasutra, Nokia Team For N-Gage 'Sauna Talk' Competition

Gamasutra has teamed up with Nokia to give away Nokia N81 smartphones and bathrobes weekly for twelve weeks, as part of the Finnish company's 'unique' new N-Gage Sauna Talk developer campaign.

The Finnish cellphone giant, which has recently relaunched its N-Gage game system as a digital download service which is compatible with a range of Nokia's smartphones, has set up a special page on Gamasutra with a rotating trivia question to be answered.

Every week for twelve weeks, starting this week, one lucky winner who correctly answers the trivia question will receive a 8GB Nokia N81 cellphone, including a built-in 2-megapixel camera, N-Gage compatibility and a host of other high-end features, alongside a Sauna Talk bathrobe.

The competition is tied in with the Sauna Talk video series on the N-Gage Insider developer website, a series of sauna-based interviews on the new N-Gage platform, with Nokia executives and developers being interviewed by moustache-toting compere Arnold Faber.

More information on the competition and its rules are available via the N-Gage Sauna Talk Trivia Challenge webpage on Gamasutra. The contest is open from November 3rd, 2008 until January 25th, 2009, with new winners weekly.

I don't really know what to think about this advertising scheme. A sauna, being ~180 degrees, is not a good place to run a computer, handheld or otherwise.

Then again, they're only _talking_ about video games in the sauna, not saying you should play them.
