About “uMan”

“uMan” (locally named in Israel as “Megudalim”) was launched in July 2009, broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. “uMan” is a unique and innovative 24/7 cross-platform control game, based on an idea developed by Dori New Media and produced by Dori Media Darset with Cellcom, for cell phones, internet and TV. Eight contestants enter a "Lab" for 21 days during which their every move is controlled by viewers and they have to score life-points to win. The viewers' control is constant and relates to how they live, what they eat, what they wear and who they sleep with. “uMan” has become an instant success in Israel, where more than 7 million viewer votes have been cast on-line in 21 days. During this period, 700,000 unique users (out of a total population of 7 million) have visited the site, many of whom visited more than once a day and spent 12 minutes on the average in the site. The game was aired live 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
