The Campaign

A group of friends decides to travel with a Puppet – who is a life-size avatar of the friend who couldn’t come with them - and enjoy new experiences together on vacation. With an iPad as the Puppet’s face and a good roaming plan, the guys jump from one adventure to the other. And thanks to the Puppet and roaming, it’s like their missing friend was with them all the time
