We Invented GrouPong to Save Your Spirits
Tennis-fever has hit the country, as it does every year around this time – apparently there’s some kind of racket-based event happening in our capital? Whatever the reason, come the evening, couples clutching tennis bats line the street; local tennis courts are jammed packed; and there’s a very definite fear that the hem-line of the nation’s shorts will never return to its normal length.
We at Groupon are not special – we’ve been covered in sweatbands, grunting through sloppy rallies just as much as the next company of fun-lovers. However, we got to thinking, this ancient game doesn’t half put your feelings through the emotional kaleidoscope?! I mean, hitting some balls around with a friend can be some fantastic fun in the summer time (fingers crossed for more of the same sunshine!) but, when you look at the evidence, it plays with you like few other games do. Just look at the spectrum of emotions, and odd decisions, it brings out in even the most dedicated of purveyors (then, just think what it’s doing to you and me!):
Fear:
Disappointment:
Compulsivity:
Anger:
Bewilderment:
Misery:
?
Because we like you and, for that matter, would quite like to avoid these damaging extremes of emotion, we’ve locked ourselves in a damp, lonely basement (who am I kidding – that’s our office!) and have come up with a solution to this potential sadness. We call it, GrouPong! You can play it indoors away from potentially harmful sun rays, challenge your friends, AND you don’t get hot and sweaty (unless you’re playing it wrong). So that’s our gift to you – a fun little game that we can play together that doesn’t leave you a nervous wreck…did I mention the 50 big ones you can win for being the best of the best? No? Ah OK, well now I have. See you on the court GrouPongers!
