If you’re not doing anything for the next, say, five minutes, then we invite you to give this cross-linked interactive game from Hot Wheels a go. It’s a pretty cool promotion, one that used up more than the promised five minutes of our time, but it sure was worth it.

This is the Hot Wheels’ Custom Motor Cup Challenge, a ‘Choose-your-own-adventure ‘ type of game where you get to compete in a series of races to determine if you have what it takes to become the Custom Motor Cup Champion. Be sure that you don’t skip any of the scenes, especially in the end of each video because you will first be asked what type of vehicle you want to race in – a GT Racer or a Baja Truck.

After choosing your car, you will then be asked what type of customization you want to do to your car to suit the stage you are racing in. What you choose will determine what your race standing will be. Try to make three informative decisions on your car set-up and you can very well go home with that Custom Motor Cup championship.

It’s pretty fun to spend your idle time on and just so you guys get motivated to give it a go, we placed first on every race on our first attempt. Try and equal that!
