Fans played a mixture of classic 1980s and 1990s titles alongside a specially designed game created exclusively for the event, featuring characters and locations from Zerocalcare\u2019s fictionalised version of Rome.<\/p>\n
Participants worked together to collectively reach one billion points, unlocking the event\u2019s ultimate reward \u2014 an exclusive preview screening of the first three episodes of the new Netflix series.<\/p>\n
