McDonald’s / Avatar Hidden Object Game

Posted: January 3rd, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Application, Awards, Favorite, Game, McDonald's, Microsite | Comments Off

My role: Conceptor

We needed to bring Cameron’s game-changing film to life in a way that promoted Big Mac and stayed true to McDonald’s mantra of Simple, Easy Enjoyment. My idea: A best-in-class game with levels that are unlocked by codes on Big Mac boxes.

We sold it right through to McDonalds USA and went on to sell and execute it for the global McD system.

The results were almost as impressive as Cameron’s box office stats:

  • over 300,000 site visitors
  • 10 minutes average time spent on site – the chain’s most effective digital engagement with adults to date
  • 18% lift in Big Mac sales over previous year

UPDATE: This project just won a Gold 2010 Reggie Award! Plus an OMMA Award 2010.
