If you ever wanted to know what life was like before cars, you can experience it yourself with this unique The Order: 1886 promotion,  Sony PlayStation NZ has teamed up with Uber to pick up people in a horse carriage inspired by the ones used in The Order: 1886. Many 1886 themed characters will be there and even Shortland St's Pua Magasiva is attending too.  The special The Order: 1886 horse carriage won't be an ordinary one. It will be set up with a TV and PS4 console inside so you play the game while riding inside the carriage.  Krister Robinson, Marketing Manager for Sony Computer Entertainment New Zealand, says that the horse-drawn carriage making appearances along busy Ponsonby Rd is a great way to bring the game to life. “This game is the perfect marriage of past, myth and modern technology. Everything in the game, from the characters, the enemy, the weapons, the setting and the technology has been crafted to bring this to life. We're looking forward to offering some passengers a one-off travel experience that brings history – The Order: 1886 carriage – and today's technology – Uber – together,” says Robinson. To have a chance to ride on the carriage, you need to download the Uber app and enter the promo code of 1886UBER on or before Wednesday 25th February. For a chance to ride, guests should locate themselves at 5 Rose Road in Ponsonby and request their ride between 7:00pm – 8:30pm
