Curaçao Challenge
Football Manager and FIFAe released a custom FM26 save that lets players manage Curaçao through the FIFA World Cup 2026; entrants upload their saves to FIFA.GG and the best run wins a trip to Curaçao and meetings with federation officials, creating a fan-facing competitive stunt tied to the World Cup licence.
Why it worked: It hijacked World Cup news cycles with an official license plus a playable underdog storyline and a tangible prize trip—instant editorial hook.
The lesson: Consider launching a time-boxed, playable challenge tied to a major event, hosted on a public leaderboard, with a headline-grabbing experiential prize.
