CBS All Access offers another choice for video-on-demand streaming. If you’ve wanted to check it out but aren’t ready to pay for another subscription, a new promo could help you cut the costs down to zero. But you’ll have to game the system to get it. Here’s how it works.
Free CBS All Access promotion
If you’re not ready to pony up the cash for a subscription to CBS All Access — soon to be Paramount+ — you may want to get your gaming hat on. A new promotion from CBS All Access will give you access to its video streaming service free for life. The catch? You have to win a game to pull it off.
The game, called Star Trek Kobayashi Maru, is brought to you by mobile gaming company Scopely, the popular Star Trek Fleet Command maker. Scopely teamed with ViacomCBS to launch the game, and the first three players who can beat it will be rewarded with a lifetime subscription to CBS All Access, along with a bunch of limited-edition Star Trek collectibles.
Beating the game could be a little more challenging than you’d think, though. If you’re a Trekkie, you know that Kobayashi Maru is a Starfleet Academy training simulator designed to be unbeatable. The first person in the galaxy to beat the unbeatable game was James T. Kirk — and he won by hacking it, not by skill.
Here’s how the game works. Rather than being an action-packed first-person shooter game, this one is a web-based decision game. Log on, and you’ll take on the role of a cadet while being asked to make several important decisions.
