OVERVIEW: In partnership with Chobani, we created a thrilling Halloween AR experience highlighting seven unique Halloween flavors, such as the Strawberry Cheesecake Mummy and the Almond Coco Loco Skeleton. Users accessed this interactive game by scanning a QR code on Chobani packaging.

Within the game, users set up three doors in their environment. Following a countdown, a treat disappeared behind one door and a quick shuffle ensued. Users then selected a door, with animations revealing either a trick or treat. A "trick" result prompted another go, ensuring continued excitement.

To boost engagement, players who shared their details received real rewards, broadening the fun beyond AR.
