In one of a kind advertising tactic, Adult Swim has created an ‘Instagram Game- Rickstaverse’ for the Rick and Morty Season 2 promotions. The cartoon which started airing on 26th July 2015 launched the game to let the fans know the worlds and characters of season 2 (with some special hidden clips of this season).

It is just as if someone declared you the winner of the game. Because the aim of the game, if you come to think of it was to advertise Season 2 with these special videos. And we found them.
