You could win 83 years of Netflix service and all you have to do is obtain the highest score in a video game.
Netflix’s The Old Guard recently hit the streaming service and there’s now a game to play for fans wanting more of this world. The Old Guard game is free to play (but only available in the US). It’s a browser-based, top-down, beat ’em up game where you play as Andy, the main character portrayed in the film by Charlize Theron, as you fight off hordes of enemies using the double-bladed axe known as Labrys.

“As you would expect, the original game used for the competition mirrors the events of the film,” according to Netflix. “But just like in the movie, dying is not the end. Getting killed only slows you down, so to get the highest score, you have to defeat enemies without getting hit, and as quickly as possible.”
The player with the highest score by July 19 will win 1000 months of Netflix, or roughly 83 years. The competition states that the winner gets an “immortal” Netflix account but Netflix said it can’t quite offer that. That’s why it’s offering what it calls the next best thing: 1000 months of service.

The competition for the game began July 17 and goes through July 19.
If you’re unfamiliar with what the game is about, you can check out The Old Guard on Netflix now. In short, it’s about Andy, an immortal and seasoned fighter played by Theron, on a mission to save her crew. The film also features Kiki Layne and is directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. The movie is based on the graphic novel of the same name written by Greg Rucka.
