Doritos Adds Haunted Hotel to Virtual Universe

Just in time for Halloween, Doritos launches Hotel 626, a haunted virtual hotel that’s only open between 6pm and 6am. (You’ll literally have to make a reservation if you try to penetrate it before then.)

Users are encouraged to visit the site in the dark with headphones, a camera and a microphone, which can be used to complete challenges. The hotel is 13 rooms big, including a morgue and a dark room (like, for developing photos?).

Part of Doritos’ sponsor-heavy online universe, Snack Strong Productions, the effort will be promoted on specially marked bags of Doritos. By Goodby, Silverstein & Partners.
