The [Chipotle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guac-mode) 'Cado Crusher' game is a new promotional experience created by the [QSR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-iq-trivia) brand that rewards players with free chips and guac when they play. The new promotional game was created in partnership with [Avocados](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelachos) from Mexico and focuses on highlighting the very few simple ingredients that are present within the brand's dip.

The Chipotle 'Cado Crusher' game will provide players with a mobile offer of free chips and guac after they have played through the game. The coupon comes through to users via text and can be redeemed when heading into a participating Chipotle location and purchasing an entree. The new promotional campaign game is available for users to play now with the coupons offered good to redeem from February 7 through February 28.
