Can you last 30 seconds?
It really is that simple. Combine a highly enjoyable game with a popular fast food chain and you get an ingenius idea that has captivated Stockholm. McDonalds have released 'Pick n' Play' – an interactive billboard that allows people to log on with their iphones and ping pong their way to a free Maccas treat.

Those victorious receive a digital coupon on their iphone and directions to the nearest store to collect their bounty free of charge.
