Warner Bros. Pictures partnered with Google Chrome for the theatrical release of THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG. Google Chrome featured the film with "Journey through Middle-earth”, which could be accessed by visiting goo.gl/TheHobbit. Fans could fly above the elf city of Rivendell or sneak through the dark Trollshaws, simply by tapping the keyboard’s direction keys or with the swipe of a finger on a smartphone. The interactive map began with a map zooming in to various locations in Middle-earth. Users could explore a few different areas, and some new areas including, Trollshaw Forrest, Rivendell, and Dol Guldur. Three other areas around Lonely Mountain – Lake Town, Thranduil’s Hall, and the Lonely Mountain itself were also shown on the map.
