MUMBAI: MTV has launched 'Roadies Battleground', a virtual game of its big-ticket adventure reality show Roadies, on Orkut.

Just like Roadies 5.0, the fifth season from the Roadies series, the participants of 'Roadies Battleground' can play the Roadies journey with nasty and crazy challenges online, claims the company.

 

The participants will have to clear various levels based on "adventurous tasks" to stay in the game. Also, to participate in the online game, the user will need to be a member of the 'Roadies' community on Orkut.

"MTV has had an active Roadies community on Orkut for a long time now. This new 'Roadies Battleground' gives Orkut users a new rich forum for participation, dialogue, creativity and self-expression," said Google India consumer marketing head Arvind Desikan.

Online voting will be used to retain or vote out a participant from the contest, which will go on for eight weeks on Orkut.

Viacom18 SVP digital media Anuj Poddar said, "Roadies has a very loyal online fan following and this is our way of gratifying their loyalty. This digital initiative will give hundreds and thousands of people a chance to experience the Roadies journey online.”
