The Assassin's Creed Twitter Assassination Experience was released on July 23, 2009. The game was developed by Red Interactive Agency and is sponsored by Verizon Wireless. The interactive game features two primary modes - Tweet Mode and Aggressive (Aggro Mode).
Games Modes
Tweet mode
Tweet mode is a mode that uses the social networking tool Twitter. In this mode, network members are randomly assigned to be either a target or an assassin. Once you are in a match, messages appear on your mentions page (@ reply). You engage in combat through "reply tweets." Additional key words are unlocked as player's skill level goes up.
Tweet mode controls
During a match, players must tweet replies to the network member who is attacking them. The replies must include keywords for weapons, escape, or counter attacks. Messages also must include the target. Any additional content can be included as long as it follows this structure.
- Issuing an attack: Attack with weapon keywords from your available weapons using this format:
- @assassins_rome slice @ target
- Issuing an escape: Escape using escape keywords available for your level:
- @assassins_rome run @ target
- Issuing a counter: Counting using counter keywords (Available after reaching Level 3). You can only counter after an attack.
- @ assassins_rome poison @target
