HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SCROLL THROUGH INSTAGRAM TO GET TO MARS? Every day billions of people scroll gigantic distances on their smartphones. We were wondering how much it takes to scroll through the Instagram feed to get to Mars. In response to this, we created a world game. SCROLL TO MARS - A TEAM GAME TO REACH MARS We plan to assemble a large team and fly the distance from Earth to Mars. The game will end when the sum of the distances of all participants is equal to 60,000,000 km. LET'S REMEMBER AND REWARD EVERYONE We will display the results of each participant on the website scrolltomars.com after completing the adventure, we will also present a certificate of participation in the largest team on the planet.
