For Doritos launch of Flamin' Cheeseball flavor, we built a ball-firing machine of frightening capabilities.  

An arsenal of eight user-controlled canons, where consumers could set their sights on amateur dodgeball teams. Each team tested their mettle for the honor of becoming the UK's first national dodgeball team. 

Doritos Flamin' Cheeseballs of Fire.

70 mph
Training

Championship greatness takes dedication and physical training.
We don’t have time for that. 

Instead, our accelerated training facility would rally the nation to fire 70mph balls and get teams ready. Ouch.

Amateur Hour

Every day for a month we shipped in amateur dodgeball teams from across the UK. Each were put through an onslaught of fire for an hour.

Aim… Fire!

After a month of dodging balls, the country would soon discover our first national dodgeball team.
