“The fact that all of this was happening in virtual space made no difference”. Being virtually killed by virtual laser in virtual space is just as effective as the real thing, because you are as dead as you think you are. ― Douglas Adams.

Format:
Round 1
A written preliminary round with basic questions on logo identification, popular brand taglines, endorsements and other trivia, along with punch-line making; to filter majority participants.
Round 2
