Kia Motors Worldwide Facebook page just launched a new game called “BeatPop”, an addictive game reminiscent of Bejeweled except with Kia’s vehicles embedded inside these gems. It presents a screen of 64 cartoon cars, in a matrix of eight vertical columns and eight horizontal rows. You need to line up three identical cars by swiping the screen vertically or horizontally in one mouse move, resulting in “combo”. After a series of combos reaching at a certain level, you can unlock star shaped bombs that can destroy a vertical and horizontal row.

The intrepid driver travelled 27,000 km (approximately 17,000 miles) from Poland to the Western border of China and back –crossing vast open grassland and arid deserts, climbing snow-covered mountains and fording rivers along the way.
