CBS’s newest show, “Harper’s Island,” is set to premiere two weeks from now. It is a murder mystery reality show wherein contestants are tasked to solve various crimes. In a brilliant marketing move CBS has created and released an application of the show which can be used through the iPhone or the iPod touch.
The game allows users to interact with the show by getting them involved. Players of the game are able to navigate through the interactive map, get more information on the island’s guests and read through the “Harper’s Globe”, the island’s local paper. The game will also include previews of upcoming shows as well as summaries of previous episodes. If this turns out as a success, look out for other television programs to follow in the footsteps of “Harper’s Island”.
