THE CHALLENGE

Each year fast-food becomes a boardgame battleground as McDonalds + Monopoly & Hungry Jacks + UNO go head-to-head in a fight to attract customers into their restaurants and onto their apps.

As these behemoths battle for boardgame supremacy, Subway needed to find a way to stand-out and entice customers to spend their money at Subway instead.

We had a 6-week window to drive traffic in-restaurant, orders in app, as well as via 3rd party delivery services. So, if it was a game the people wanted, then it was a game they would get.

OUR SOLUTION

Introducing Sink a Sub™.

Buy a Footlong. Sink a Footlong. Win epic prizes.

The ‘finger-flick-mobile-only' game was designed with Subway’s most distinctive asset, the Footlong Sub, front and centre whilst being intuitively designed to encourage play after play, I mean, who doesn’t enjoy slinging meatballs at a Footlong.

Sink a Sub™ centred around simple gameplay and a quick sign-up and prize claim journey – all in the Subway App. There was seamless integration into restaurant, in-app and 3rd party delivery services, so tokens + prizes could be redeemed with a click.
