Boost Traffic Across Locations: Encourage customers to visit multiple locations, increasing exposure and sales.
Enhance Customer Experiences: Turn shopping into a fun, interactive journey that leaves a lasting impression.
Collect Valuable Insights: Use idol scans to gather data on customer behavior, preferences, and engagement trends.
Step 1: Create a Connected Game Across Locations
Place unique idols at participating businesses, vendors, or multiple store locations. Each idol features a QR code and can be linked to a custom message, reward, or clue. For instance, an idol found at a café might provide a clue leading customers to a nearby boutique or another store location.
Step 2: Drive Customer Engagement and Movement
Customers explore your local area or venue, following the clues to discover idols and unlock rewards. This encourages foot traffic across locations, increasing visibility and fostering a sense of discovery and excitement.
Step 3: Reward Participation
When customers find an idol, they scan its QR code to see if they have one a Find the Idol sponsored reward. You can also offer your own rewards like discounts, exclusive deals, or freebies to encourage purchases and visits to all participating locations. You can even require tasks, such as leaving a rating, writing a review, or following you on social media, to claim the reward. Additionally, you’ll collect players’ email addresses during the process, allowing you to engage them with future outreach and promotions.
How it works
Find the Idol is a platform for tracking user interactions through QR codes, links, or special codes. Place “Idols” in your environment, have customers find them, and complete tasks. Each Idol is tied to a specific business goal, providing engagement and useful data.

Example: Arts & Craft Fair Collaboration
Imagine an arts and crafts fair where vendors collaborate on a scavenger hunt. A pottery booth starts the journey with an idol and a clue leading to a jewelry maker’s stall. At the jewelry stall, customers find another idol offering a reward, like a discount at a nearby candle maker’s booth. Each vendor benefits from increased foot traffic, while visitors enjoy an interactive and engaging shopping experience.
Example: Local Business Collaboration
Imagine a neighborhood scavenger hunt where a bakery, bookstore, and flower shop work together. Customers start at the bakery to find their first idol, which provides a clue leading to the bookstore. At the bookstore, they find another idol with a reward, such as a discount at the flower shop. Each business attracts new customers while creating a fun, shared community experience.
Example: Multi-Store Campaign
A retail chain with multiple locations can use Find the Idol to connect stores in a fun way. Customers might start at one store to find their first idol, then follow clues to visit other locations, collecting rewards along the way. This drives traffic to all stores, increases brand loyalty, and boosts engagement.
