When a scandal goes viral, you know people won’t just let it fade away quietly. The recent Coldplay ‘Kiss Cam’ moment, where a couple’s awkward reaction stole the spotlight, has already been transformed into a tiny video game. It’s a fun and kinda hilarious way to relive that awkwardness, trust me, you’ll want to check this out.
At a Coldplay concert, the crowd’s attention was grabbed by a couple on the arena’s big screen. Instead of sharing a kiss like you’d expect, they pulled apart quickly, covering their faces in shock. Chris Martin joked they might be shy or having an affair, and it turned out to be the latter. The couple? The CEO and head of HR from Astronomer, a billion-dollar tech company, were caught in a secret romance.
Now here’s where it gets even more interesting. Jonathan Mann, a musician and coder, whipped up a game called Coldplay Canoodlers in less than a day, inspired by this exact moment. In the game, you play as a camera operator tasked with spotting the CEO and HR lady canoodling among a pixel-art crowd. Every time you find them, you score 10 points. Simple, but oddly addictive!
