Idea
Operaatio Hurrikaani (Operation Hurricane) is an interactive combination of a television show and a website. I t is targeted at boys and girls aged between 7–12 years.
Operaatio Hurrikaani is a production of YLE (Finnish Broadcasting Company).
The story
Puuma (Puma) is a young fellow, who leads a double life: everybody thinks he’s studying to become a teacher but actually he’s a top secret agent. He has to fight against Tohtori Routa (Dr. Freeze) and his evil plans.
Puuma gets help from his qurious aunt Sirkku, from an older agent Postimies and from a beautiful and hardworking girlagent Kleopatra.
How it works
Each week the tv-show has a drama episode, which ends with a question and three alternatives.
After that kids can log on to the website and help Puuma by giving their answer. Doing so they earn themselves a new mini-game, which they can use to train their skills as a secret agent. They also have an avatar, which can be modified by changing clothes, hair styles and spy gear.
Then on the tv-show following week, there’s the correct answer for the question.
There’s a prize draw for all participating agents. The winners are shown as the avatars they have created online in the weekly tv-show.
