Exclusive New Topgolf Sonic the Hedgehog(TM) Game to Launch at all Topgolf Venues Across the U.S.

MODG

New advertising campaign invites Players to come play the new Topgolf Sonic the Hedgehog game for free with Topgolf's Free Play Time deal

DALLAS, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonic the Hedgehog and friends arrive at Topgolf at supersonic speed on Friday, Nov. 15, with the official launch of the new game, Topgolf Sonic the Hedgehog, which will be exclusively available for play at Topgolf venues across the U.S. and Glasgow. Additional Toptracer-enabled franchise venues around the globe will debut localized versions of the game in Q1 2025. Developed by Topgolf in partnership with SEGA®, the game is the first venture into the golf entertainment space for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

Game Details
Topgolf meets the fast-paced action of Sonic in the new in-venue game, as super fans of all skill levels go head-to-head in iconic virtual Sonic environments, Green Hill Zone and Sky Sanctuary, to hit springs, collect rings and destroy badniks. The experience utilizes Topgolf's proprietary Toptracer ball-tracing technology to blend the physical act of hitting a golf ball with digitally watching popular characters Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy track shots and collect rings as Players climb to the top of the leaderboard. Watch the trailer here!

Player Offer: Play for Free!
Topgolf is leveling up the fun with an exclusive Player offer for Sonic fans everywhere! Walk in and collect 30 minutes of free play time by using the redeemable code at www.topgolf.com/FREE. Restrictions and exclusions apply, please see here for more information.

Integrated Advertising Campaign
To kick off this launch, Topgolf is introducing its latest advertising campaign where Sonic the Hedgehog meets families and friends in the Topgolf bay to play the new game. The global campaign launches on Nov. 14 across national and local streaming, digital and social channels. The campaign assets were developed in partnership with Topgolf's creative agency of record, Anomaly, as well as Topgolf's internal creative team. See all the current spots here.

Exclusive Merchandise
Players can power up their game with exclusive, limited-edition merchandise available for purchase at all U.S. and Glasgow Topgolf venues. Sonic the Hedgehog-themed hats, sweatshirts and t-shirts – available in adult and youth sizes – feature Sonic himself holding Topgolf's newest club, The Sure Thing.
