Sierra Leone leading Telecommunications Operator, Africell, last week wowed subscribers with the introduction of an unprecedented Ramadan game show dubbed “The Money Wall”.
The game according to the mobile operator requires, BRAVERY and GUSTO for risk taking. The HIGHER RISK,the GREATER the REWARD!
Africell is known for ground-breaking promotions, and this new innovative promotion has exceeded expectations.
Many, were predicting it would be a repeat of last year’s promotion. But true to their word and innovative standards set, the market leaders went for the unthinkable, challenging staff of the commercial department to go for what will excite and reward subscribers.
The game has three walls and two stages, each wall has four openings at the top numbered 1-4, and eight at the bottom assigned with cash prizes and numbers.
Subscribers qualify for the show, by either calling or sending a blank SMS to 777 which they’ll get back as bonus to be used before midnight, or by acquiring and registering a new Africell Sim card or effect transaction using Africell Money.
An electronic draw is done on the show to choose winners, and once that is done, the show presenter, Dj Tamba B, puts a call through to the deserved qualifiers to lead them through the process.
The first port of call will be the MAIN wall – which contain cash prizes – ranging from Le 100,000 to Le 5,000,000. Subscribers will have to choose from numbers 1 to 4 and when they do.A beautiful model will drop a ball through the openings marked with the selected number, whilst the presenter will run an exciting and frenetic commentary to give subscribers a mental picture of the process.
The next stage is where the true test of BRAVERY is situated. Subscriber would be asked to go for a HIGHER or LOWER risk.
Choosing the higher risk wall awards them the opportunity to multiply their cash winning by 0,5,8,9&10, but with greater chance of losing it .
Conversely, at low risk wall you will never loose! It has lower multipliers i.e 1,2 & 3 though.
In the event a subscriber opts for the high risk wall and loses his cash winning, they will be given an Afri-phone as a consolation prize.
The show airs on AYV and Star TVs, AiRadio 105.3FM and on all the major radio stations in the country.
Mohamed a subscriber from Kenema said “this is new and exciting. I have never seen anything like this on TV in Sierra Leone. It is a novelty. Africell is truly unbeatable and innovative.”
About his experience he explained, “I had a massive adrenalin rush, with my heart in my mouth the whole time due to the nature of the game. My bravery was tested after the first wall which contained cash prizes. The presenter asked if I am willing to take risks, I said yes. I chose the high risk wall, and fortunately it paid off. The ball slid to number ten. I could hardly control myself at that point because the One Million Leones I had won from the main wall was going to be multiplied by ten!”
You could be the next winner in this test of BRAVERY and GUSTO. Acquire and register a new africell Sim and dial 777 to increase your chances. FIFTY MILLION LEONES (Le 50,000,000) is not something you’d want to let slide this Ramadan.
