The brief
9 Lives wanted visitors to discover its wines by playing through a short interactive story.
What I built
The concept is the agency's: a dark room, a door, a glowing logo. I built the WordPress theme with the animated entry, explore and choose flows, a wine quiz, filters and wine pages.
Features
- Animated door and light entry
- Wine quiz and choose flow
- Filters and wine pages
- Age gate
- About 95 content fields
Challenges
Problem. Lots of animation, and it still had to load fast and stay editable.
Solution. Content fields per scene, with the animation code kept separate in the theme scripts.
Takeaway
You play this site more than you read it.
