[Coca-Cola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-onpack-promotion) and SCVNGR's Interactive Happiness in Numbers game is the perfect way for American teens to kill some time this summer.

The interactive idea is a partnership between the soda brand and Internet application. On the SCVNGR site, Coca-Cola's page claims that "This summer is all about unlocking happiness with your friends." The app encourages users to download SCVNGR and search "[Coke](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coke-ultimate-zero-sugar)." Then, nearby locations of Happiness in Numbers booths will pop up, sending the user to them, competing with friends and others for prizes like T-shirts and gift cards.

To sweeten the deal of Happiness in Numbers, Coca-Cola is also offering challenges with [Live Nation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fountain-nft-fridge) that will send you to one of their 31 hidden sound check concert locations.
