Following the release of the "world's first playable DJ pizza box," [Pizza Hut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moving-box-table) has created another clever box design with a Flick Football Field on the top. The new box not only serves as an entertaining game for customers to enjoy while grabbing a slice, but it also offers a chance for pizza-lovers to win fun prizes.

The new Pizza Hut box is available with the purchase of any one of the chain's medium pizzas. The box itself features a playable Flick Football Field complete with extendable goal posts, tiny football triangles and a handy score card. Fans can then share videos of their favorite Flick Football moments on [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-6) with the hashtag '#PizzaHutHut.' Pizza Hut will even select weekly winners based on challenges such as longest flick and most creative flick.

The promotional box ultimately gives customers a new way to interact with Pizza Hut beyond the chain's food.
