The supermarket Lidl is running a campaign from the end of February called Backyard Mini’s. Together with the loyalty agency Craze, we have developed a smartphone application for kids to provide them the possibility to collect mini figurines.

Customer loyalty. Customers collect stuffed animals by spending money at the supermarket and this game gives an extra dimension by unlocking minigames through the stuffed animals.

The Lidl Backyard Mini’s application containing multiple minigames with animals like Sjon Slak, Kees Kikker and other animal friends for the little customers.

The challenge was to create a multiplatform application containing 10 minigames in short timeframe. We also had to ensure that the application was used frequently by adding a score-system in the application. Ensuring people will try to get a higher score.

In the application you scan a QR code that is attached to the backyard mini stuffed animals. When this QR code is scanned it unlocks a minigame about the stuffed animal. Every game is uniquely created and illustrated specifically for each animal. If one particular animal is not getting enough attention in the game, it turns sad and less healthy.

Collect all Backyard Minis at Lidl, unlock the games in the app and score as many points as possible! Welcome to the world of Backyard Minis!
