Description:

In the summer of 2009 there was a conflict between Belgium and Netherland's government who would pay for the deepening of the Schelde river so bigger cargo ships could reach Antwerp's industrial harbor. The local newspaper 'Gazet Van Antwerpen' ordered a fun game to exploit this news item. It was an easy but addictive game where the user controlled a Dutch worker to deepen the river and a Belgium person would make fun of the person when he would not reach his target. This viral was picked up by several international newspapers stating the Belgium's made fun of the Dutch payment deadline.
