Luggage firm Samsonite has launched Around the World in 80 Clicks as an online game running through Facebook.

The contest allows users to virtually navigate the world with opportunities to win 150 Samsonite Cosmolite Spinner 55 suitcases.

One winner will win a €5,000 travel voucher while the total value of prizes being awarded exceeds €50,000.

Inspired by the classic adventure novel, Around the World in Eighty Days, Samsonite’s Facebook game asks players to connect with their most distant friends by sending a virtual suitcase to create a ‘chain’ of people around the world.

The Around the World in 80 Clicks game goes “live” today (March 1) and is scheduled to run for 80 days. Available on Facebook, aroundtheworldin80clicks.com and on Twitter (@80clicks, #80clicks), the game can be shared with friends around the world.
