When looking for a game that would be memorable and suit their audience, Kwik Fit picked the classic Match-3 format and customised it to suit their branding and campaign.

A fairly new addition to the Christmas collection is a festive version of our Hopper game! It’s a magical winter wonderland where players navigate their Elf safely across the snowy terrain, picking up presents along the way for extra points.
Beazley wanted to offer a new game to their discerning broker audience and chose to tailor the Hopper to their brand!

By combining our Hopper game with a digital advent calendar, Borden got the online format they were looking for! They added a custom banner on the calendar landing page, custom images for the 55 daily prize doors and we even added a custom footer to the calendar to help direct players to tasty festive recipes so they could put all that cheese to good use!
