The Coldplay concert kiss cam incident has emerged as the most viral moment of 2025. It has also been adapted into a video game, in a manner of speaking. Coldplay Canoodlers was created by Jonathan Mann, who is best known for uploading a new song to YouTube every day for over a decade (Remember the video "GTA: This Is Why We Video Gaming ?"). This game is a point-and-click hidden object experience where you search through a crowd to find two executives in an inappropriate embrace at a Coldplay concert, providing a humorous take on how this situation is somewhat disappointing.
If you've been offline for the past few days and are unaware of the CEO and HR lady Mann is talking about, here's a brief overview. During a Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Wednesday night, a video shown on a large screen featured a man and a woman dancing together. However, when they recognized themselves in the video, they attempted to conceal their identities. She hid her face with her hands and turned away from the camera, while he quickly moved out of view.
The response was very dramatic, as Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin provided commentary from the stage. "Oh, look at these two. They are either having an affair or they are just really shy," Martin joked.
Polygon reports that Mann made use of AI to "vibe code" Coldplay Canoodlers. In other words, it was created by a computer that throws up bits of the internet originally made by other people. The concept is to scroll through a stadium of nameless faces while zoomed-in images appear on a jumbotron on stage. When you find the pixelated versions of the real-life Coldplay kiss cam couple, the audio from the viral video plays with Chris Martin saying, "Oh, look at these two, alright, come on, you’re okay...Oh, what?"
Here's the game.
And here's the log folder that describes all his chats in Claude code and cursor. It has screenshots of his conversations with ChatGPT (for image creation). And additional content!
