Big Spaceship takes the title for the most wins in the Ping-Pong Hangout
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
After six weeks of intense game play across the agency world, the Ping-Pong Hangout agency face-off has come to a close. There was fierce competition from all 48 agencies and more than 25,000 games played. The winner: Big Spaceship who played their way to the top with more than 3,400 wins. Congratulations to 360i, Carrot Creative, The Barbarian Group and Deep Focus who swept the remaining top five spots.
Though the competition is over, you can still join the fun on CreativeSandbox.com and
try out the Ping-Pong Hangout
. Using this Hangout app, you can play a game of Ping-Pong with an opponent using your face to control the paddle. The site also features a Guidebook that covers the basics of Hangouts, Hangout apps and ideas for use cases. Want more? Check out the recording of the
Hangout with the agencies behind the game

The Ping-Pong Hangout is fun stuff, but its the technology behind it that’s most impressive: the
Google+ Hangouts API
. The API can help you build deep, engaging and unique experiences for Hangouts. We’ve also found that the average duration of a Hangout increases by 2.5 times when participants use an app. The best part? Anything you can put in an iFrame, you can add to a Hangout app.
Interested in working on a Hangout app for your client? We have plenty of resources to help you get started. Check out our
getting-started guide
for the Hangouts API, get some inspiration from the
Hangout Apps Showcase
or ask questions of the
Google+ Developers
team in their Hangout office hours on Tuesdays at 2:30pm PT.
