Rupert, a Hollywood wannabe, needs your advice. Can you help him achieve money, fame *and* happiness?
My Big Break is a game for web-enabled mobile phones, played by scanning the QR codes exclusively placed in the Watershed. Help Rupert as he veers from one sticky situation to another. He needs your cunning. He needs your wiles. Dammit, he'll take any help he can get. Will you play it clean - or play it mean? Will your name be in lights on the leader board?
