In response,theFall GuysTwitterbegan a charity event known as “Battle of the Brands” for those companies and fans that wanted to compete for an in-game costume. The donated money will go to Special Effect, a charity geared towards using technology to help those with physical disabilities get the most fun out of video games. It uses modified controllers such as eye-controlled systems and customized joysticks to support folks unable to use traditional commercial products. For those who wanted to participate in the charity event, all they had to do was reply to the originalFall Guystweet with how much they were willing to donate. After two weeks, the highest bidder would win their own brand on aFall Guyscostume.
Fall Guysdid a countdown leading up to the final announcement of the winner. But in the last few minutes of the event, the popularYouTube streamer known as Ninjatweeted out that he, along with Mr Beast, G2 Esports, and Aim Lab would be collectively donating a whopping $1,000,000, effectively winning the competition. Following this incredible contribution, theFall Guysaccount announced that the prize would include four costumes as a “special thank you to the amazing people that made this possible.”
Even better, Special Effect has gained a lot of attention sinceFall Guyslaunched the charity event,earning donations from those who couldn’t afford to bid a great amount during the “Battle of the Brands” event. And Ninja, being one of the most popular streamers of 2020, actually already had his ownFall Guysmockup skin posted to Twitter a few days ago by Aim Lab with the caption “Spoiler Alert!” It features his classic blue hair and yellow “Ninja” headband with the Aim Lab logo and brand colors covering the character’s skin. It’s unclear if this is the final design of one of the winning costumes, however.
