Google Running Ultimate Search For Bourne Tie-In Contest
Google is teaming with Universal Pictures to run a contest relating to the Matt Damon movie “The Bourne Ultimatum” called The Ultimate Search For Bourne. The contest, like the Da Vinci Code contest of last year, will require fans to use a variety of Google tools to “track” Jason Bourne, Damon’s character, across three continents. The contest starts July 16 and is a partnership with Volkswagen and MasterCard. If past experience is any indication, the contest will be run from an iGoogle Gadget.
Come back here on July 16. If the game seems exciting, expect full coverage, hints and tips.
