Chick-fil-A is tapping into the gaming sphere with its new digital game, 'Code Moo.' Starring the Chick-fil-A cows, the game requires users to help the animals sabotage the fictional 'Circus Burger' franchise. Chick-fil-A rewards members who play the game have the chance to unlock exclusive rewards and giveaway entries, including the chance at free Chick-fil-A for a year.
“The Chick-fil-A cows have been a beloved part of the brand for nearly three decades and carry a contagious spirit everywhere they go, reminding our guests to laugh and appreciate the little things around them,” Joe Saracino, senior vice president of brand, advertising and media, said in a statement. “We’re excited to have the cows back — so much so that we’re letting them take charge this summer. It’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy the fun they’re cooking up for all our guests.”
Chick-fil-A is also launching The Cow Collection, a new merchandise line comprising beach towels, visors, a paddleball game, and additional products for the summer.
