I approached aerian studios with an idea of an interactive web game called about2croak. Players pick 25 celebs they thing will croak that year. When one of their celebs croaks they get points and move up the leader board. Players complete on several different leagues, local, national and on a global league. Players can even set up there own league and play against friends, work colleges, etc. My first question was ‘is this possible?’. Aerian got into the quirky spirit of the game and pulled out all the stops. The finished result is unprecedented, there’s nothing on the net comes close.
I expected this site would raise an eyebrow or two. Love it or hate it, thousands are playing the 2008 game from all corners of the globe.
Thank you aerian.

About2croak is a new venture that will surely offend even the most open minded of individuals. About2Croak gives users the chance to play in a rather morose game of "celebrity deaths".
The rules of the game are simple, you choose a selection of celebrities you think are 'about to croak' and then you 'add them to casket' in a rather amusing spin on the popular add to basket (you can thank Paul Goodenough for that terrible joke). You then gradually fill your 'casket' with soon to die celebrities (in your opinion) and each time that one pop's their clogs, you move up the leaderboards.
Compete against the country, compete locally, compete against friends and family. It's like fantasy football... but with dead people!
About2croak wanted the complete web package from aerian. From initial photography and concept designs, we grew the brand throughout the website, including logo design, flash animation, corporate design, ecommerce, web development and even concept ideas like the 'add to casket' idea and many others.
Certainly one of our more quirky customers!
