The Invasion Begins . . . Legacy Introduces Flavor Monsters

The Invasion Begins . . . Legacy Introduces Flavor Monsters

truth®, Legacy’s youth smoking prevention campaign, has launched Flavor Monsters as another way for the campaign to reach teens and young people. Flavor Monsters is available for free download on select Apple and Android devices, as part of a comprehensive campaign encompassing touring, media integrations, gear and products.

The game builds on the recent “Unsweetened truth” campaign. That campaign, launched in March 2011, highlighted the many different flavorings – more than 45 – found in tobacco products. Although most flavors are banned for use in cigarettes, tobacco companies still use them in many other tobacco products, some of which closely resemble cigarettes or mints.

The game transports users into a not-too-distant future where “flavor monsters” are attacking Earth. The “flavor monsters” are creatures that represent the added flavorings in tobacco. Players work to defeat these monsters, stopping the monster invasion. An accompanying field manual contains data on all the monsters, along with relevant tobacco-related facts, and details on the tools that can be used to defeat the monsters.
