Ably proving their status as being technologically savvy, Jetwing Hotels has now launched a specially designed game for Facebook, as a part of a novel competition. This occasion marks the first time a Sri Lankan resort chain has developed a game on the popular social media site, and provides the opportunity for close on 50,000 fans to win weekly prizes, and a Grand Prize for one lucky winner!

The app is simple in its design, consisting of images relating to Jetwing Lagoon broken down into a jigsaw puzzle format. Three difficult levels exist, from Easy to Hard, and each level is timed. The faster the puzzle is finished, the more points are scored, all of which are calculated and recorded on a scoreboard. At the end of each week, the gamer with the highest points wins a weekly prize for two at Jetwing Lagoon, ranging from: a spa treatment, dinner at Geoffrey's, a day outing with lunch at Geoffrey's and use of the 100m pool, and either lunch/dinner at the Blue Lagoon restaurant.

After all the weekly prizes are awarded, all that remains is the Grand Prize… priding themselves on looking after their fans, Jetwing Hotels is giving away a one night stay for two, at a super extravagant Suite at Jetwing Lagoon.

“The launch of Jetwing Lagoon, the latest property coming into the Jetwing hotels portfolio provided an ideal opportunity for us to reward and engage our fans in a novel way through this application. This and many other initiatives ensures our commitment in adapting quickly to a fast changing digital world, which is integral to doing business in todays context” said Ishanth Gunawardene, Head of Marketing and Sales for Jetwing.
