Overview

Gamifying In-Store Engagement with Augmented Reality

To bring a fresh, interactive twist to in-store retail experiences, Courts Singapore partnered with NXT Interactive to launch an immersive AR Treasure Hunt Game—a fun, tech-powered marketing activation aimed at engaging customers across selected store locations.

The campaign was part of a broader customer engagement initiative to drive footfall, increase dwell time, and make shopping an adventure for families, young adults, and loyal customers. Using Augmented Reality, gamification, and real-time data capture, we created a memorable experience that blended digital storytelling with physical retail exploration.

About the Experience

Project Objectives

  • Enhance customer interaction with the store environment

  • Promote the brand’s mascot Bitty in an interactive, entertaining way

  • Capture valuable customer data and behavioral insights

  • Offer rewards and surprises that incentivize participation

  • Reinforce brand affinity with a modern, tech-forward experience

The Game Concept: Augmented Reality Treasure Hunt

The AR Treasure Hunt revolved around sticker scanning using mobile phones. Users embarked on a digital quest inside the store, scanning custom-printed stickers placed at strategic locations—each one unlocking a new clue and bringing the animated Bitty mascot to life in 3D.

How It Worked:

  1. Start the Hunt
    Users accessed the experience by scanning a QR code displayed at the store entrance—no app download required.

  2. Follow the Clues
    The system provided personalized hints that guided users through different departments or product zones.

  3. Scan the Stickers
    At each checkpoint, users located and scanned an AR sticker using their smartphone camera.

  4. AR Magic Unlocked
    The brand mascot, Bitty, popped out in augmented reality with fun animations and messages, congratulating users and dropping the next clue.

Final Checkpoint & Completion
Once all checkpoints were completed, users reached the final screen showing their score, time taken, and a thank-you message from Bitty—followed by a prize/reward claim screen.

Data Collection & Personalization

The experience wasn’t just fun—it was also insightful and personalized. Before beginning the hunt, users submitted their:

  • Name

  • Mobile Number

  • Email Address

  • Store Location Visited

As users progressed through the hunt, we captured:

  • Time taken to complete the game

  • Number of checkpoints completed

  • Unique player ID linked to the experience

All this data was securely stored and made available to Courts’ marketing team via a real-time dashboard, enabling post-event engagement, re-marketing, and analytics.

Software Features

  • Web-Based AR Engine (No app needed)

  • Location-based Clue Logic

  • Mascot Animation Triggers via Sticker Scans

  • Gamified Scoring System

  • Admin Dashboard for analytics, user management, and prize tracking

  • GDPR-Compliant Data Collection with user consent

Hardware & Deployment

  • AR-enabled Stickers with scan markers placed at 4–6 store locations

  • Branded Instruction Standees for user guidance

  • QR Code Posters to trigger the experience


Results & Impact

  • Thousands of interactions across multiple stores within the first week

  • High engagement time (average user time: 5–7 minutes)

  • Positive feedback on mascot interaction and gamified experience

  • Valuable user data captured for CRM and re-marketing campaigns

  • Increased family visits and footfall during the campaign period

NXT Interactive’s AR Treasure Hunt transformed the traditional retail visit into an interactive brand adventure—turning customers into active participants rather than passive shoppers.

By combining storytelling, exploration, and the magic of AR, Courts Singapore was able to deliver not just a campaign—but an immersive, data-rich retail journey that left lasting impressions.
