The "credits" for the drone performance provided a reason for people to keep watching, as the [drones flew into the formation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-drone-network) of a giant QR code. The [scannable QR code](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qr-code-ai-20) gave mobile device users the chance to be taken directly to the download page for the game. While QR codes are commonly integrated into product packaging and promotional materials, this piqued interest from gamers and curious individuals alike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Drone Advertising:** Using drones to create interactive and engaging advertisements for brands and products. - **Aerial QR Codes:** Designing QR codes in the sky using drones for unique marketing initiatives and gamification. - **Drone Performance Art:** Incorporating drones into live performances for visually stunning and interactive shows. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Marketing and Advertising:** Using drones for a new and innovative form of advertising that encourages engagement and interaction with consumers. - **Entertainment:** Integrating drones into live performances and events for captivating and cutting-edge experiences. - **Gaming:** Using drones to promote and drive engagement for video games and mobile apps with creative marketing campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dragon-Themed Drone Light Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legend-of-the-dragon-gate.md) - [Illuminated Drone Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/very-ralph-documentary.md) - [Helicopter-Towed Digital Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-gaiden-4.md) - [Drone Marketing Initatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-shows.md) - [Branded QR-Powered Retro Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orca-scan.md) - [Drone-Created Gingerbread Light Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-village-in-the-sky.md) - [Large-Scale Drone Lightshows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-lightshow.md) - [Water-Based Entertainment Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arivia-watersurface-drone.md) - [Amusement Park QR Readers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intercard.md)
