Overview

Description

Our analysis demonstrated that we needed an engaging tool which our target audience uses every day, such a tool which would allow us to use elements of gamification. We based the communication on a custom action, combining the main theme of the game (treasure hunt) with modern technological solutions ie. Jakdojade.pl - Poland’s most popular route-planning app for public transport. Moreover, using main network of parcel pick-up lockers: we hid 50 treasures in parcel pick-up lockers in 5 Polish cities; parcel locations were revealed in the Jakdojade.pl app and website, as well as the PlayStation Poland Facebook pages. Simultaneously, pick-up points were displayed on the app map. Whoever got there first, was the winner.
