๐ฎ Steer with the arrow buttons below the field. Chomp through the maze with your Commanders character, rack up points, dodge the opposing defense.
๐ฎ The opponent characters take on the colors of whichever opponent the Commanders play that week in real life.
๐ฎ ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ป๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ, so no two drives play the same.
๐ซท When the ref character takes the field, stay out of his way. Touch him and it's an instant whistle. Game over.
๐ช Climb through the levels. There's no cap.
When the drive's over, see your best score. There's a weekly leaderboard tied to each matchup, starting Week 4 vs. the Indianapolis Colts on October 4. And, yes, there's also a season-long high-score leaderboard.
And here's the clever, creative detail that makes it fun. When the league week flips on Wednesday, so does the game. Whoever the Commanders play that week on the field, you get to play them in Burgundy Blitz. Yes, little characters chasing you in the maze, in the opponent's colors.
The maze changes every drive.
The opponent characters change every week.
The leaderboard updates every week.
The game is never quite the same twice.
Burgundy Blitz. A new mini-arcade game, dreamt up for Commanders fans by Catherine Milkovich, Digital Marketing Coordinator at the Washington Commanders.
Catherine, it is such a privilege and a joy to work with you. Every time we get on a call with you, you generate brilliant new ideas and delightful ways to keep fans happy. You've made the Commanders app a source of endless and creative fun for fans (and for us). You are a force of nature and an inspiration.
