Free "Hess Tractor Trek" App

Hess Corporation Launches Free "Hess Tractor Trek" App

Bonus Features Activate Through the 2013 Hess Toy Truck Horn

NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2013 -- Hess Corporation is introducing a new free gaming app for iOS, Android and Kindle Fire. The Hess Tractor Trek celebrates the 2013 Hess Toy Truck and Tractor, giving fans a new way to experience the magic of this year's collectible. Icy mountain roads, treacherous desert terrain and volcanic island trails are all in a day's work for the Hess Tractor. Players take control of the vehicle and plow their way through the different terrains, clearing the roads for future travelers and fueling up at Hess Express stations along the way.

Throughout the game, players will attempt to cover distances while pulling off stunts to earn valuable in-game Hess Cash, which can be used to upgrade their vehicle, purchase new tractor bodies and earn short-term perks that will improve performance and earning potential. The 2.5-dimension side-scrolling game design challenges players' reflexes and minds as they race over bumpy terrain, jump and flip over while ensuring their tractor lands safely back on the ground.
