Cloud Warriors Coming to Cagneys Wine Bar

Cloud Warriors is a phone based Twitter game played in WiFi cafes by clever people for real cash.

The rules are simple. Participants can use their phones or other devices to surf the web and get rare information, which are answers to questions picked at random by the Host spinning a ‘wheel of fortune’ which is sometime called the Thunder Wheel. The questions could be about anything, but will probably be about local events, businesses, charities and politicians.

Answering the questions in tweets with #CloudWarriors hashtag can yield cash rewards and prizes from sponsors.

Participants can come from anywhere in the GTA but will probably be local residents of Streetsville, or Mississauga. Everyone in the restaurant is eligible to play and win.

Questions are picked at random by audience members who take turns spinning the Thunder Wheel; a crackling, booming thunder sound effect comes across the speakers at every interval as the wheel is spun. Every position on the wheel contains a trivia question for the audience.

The host reads the questions and challenge is presented in a visual representation with pictures and text spelling out exactly what’s required, illustrating the question to the audience participants.

Then all eyes turn to the Twitter-Wall.  The replies using the hashtag #CloudWarriors. The first correct ‘answer tweet’ to appear on the Twitter Wall, set to display #CloudWarriors responses, wins the reward and could qualify the participant for a seat at the Cloud Table.

CLOUD TABLE is where the most prolific winners are invited to sit and eventually where they compete for the Grand Prize donated by TeraGo Cloud Services. Drinks are free and tasty appetizers are laid out in abundance. The first correct answer gets to sit there, followed by the first winner with two victories, and then three and then four. There are only four seats at this table.

Cloud Warriors Debuts at Cagney’s on Tuesday Feb 24th at 6pm sharp.

Cagney’s Wine Bar and Steakhouse in Mississauga is set to host the Cloud Warriors event.

The event is open to anyone and any device.  It’s B.Y.O.D. which means players can bring any device the have, including phones, laptops, iPads, and android devices.  SURROUND Digital Marketing Agency reserves the right to examine, document winners’ hardware.  Each attendee will be asked to sign a release form granting photographers and videographers the use of their image forevermore in all mediums throughout the universe, or something like that. We will be making a photo gallery and videos as we do expect to run this game event in the future and will use this media to promote the concept to restaurants and businesses across Canada. There is some discussion around the Cloud Warriors event on SmartCanucks.

Wine Tasting Sips & Investment Tips

Allan Small’s Wine Sips and Investment Tips was held at Quince Bistro on January 22^nd. The event took place in the lower level of Quince Bistro where you can hold private events. The space was warm and inviting with lots of natural wood and warm lighting.

The evening started off with an opportunity for mingling with other guests and Allan Small. There were passed hors d’oeuvres, cheese plates, and a glass of welcome prosecco for everyone to enjoy. Once everyone was seated Allan started his very informative talk about the 5 things that could derail the 2015 markets and how to navigate around these risks.

Proceeding the talk Rosa Forgione was introduced and she led casual wine tasting. She sampled three different wines; 2 reds, and a white wine. She was very personable and went around to every table talking about the wines and asking people how they enjoyed them. The evening was concluded by a final round of hors d’oeuvres and a chance for people to ask Allan some questions and to mingle with the other attendees.

CityEvents was proud to work with Allan Small again in 2015 on his annual client hosting program.  For photos of this event please visit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cityeventstoronto/sets/72157650374906446/
