What would you ask Maria Sharipova? One question pops into mind - what’s the secret to your deadly backhand?! Now, hold that thought and play our quest.

Today, Millions of Us and InterActive Corp. Search & Media (IAC) are launching the Zwinky Field Reporter Quest Sponsored by Nike. This quest offers players with a unique opportunity to volley one-liners with the hottest sports celebrities around!

Based on the Nike Field Reporter contest which ran just this past month, Nike, IAC (creators of Zwinktopia), and yours truly, Millions of Us have created a quest and contest in the virtual world of Zwinktopia.

The quest in a nutshell:

1.) Enter Zwinktopia and make a cutie or hottie avatar.
2.) Join the Zwinky Field Reporter Quest Sponsored by Nike. Prove you are sports celebrity savvy by answering some tough questions and solving clues to find the locations of Maria Sharipova, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Abby Wambach, and Serena Williams. You may have heard of them.
3.) Escort them in your sweet stretch hummer to the press conference.
4.) Pick up some hot Nike gear, a trophy to display on your profile page, and bragging rights to all your friends.
5.) Upon quest completion, enter to become the first ever Zwinky Field Reporter Sponsored by Nike.

IAC’s virtual world Zwinktopia currently boasts over 10 million users with an average usage time of over an hour per user. Zwinky users are young, hip, and clearly engaged with the community. We couldn’t be more excited to be launching into this new platform and with a cutting-edge, world-class brand like Nike no less! This marks the third virtual world Millions of Us has created branded experiences for (after Second Life and Gaia Online) and we suspect this will be a big hit with the Zwinky crowd.

Special thanks to Mike Primiani and Bill Maslyn (IAC) for their phenomenal work in executing this quest.

See you at the virtual press conference. I’ll be rollin in my stretch hummer limo!
