# Binge-Watching Collectibles Netflix Collectible Patches Offer Rewards for Binge Watching Kids TV By Justin Lam | Published 2018-04-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-collectible-patches References: [fortune](http://fortune.com/2018/03/10/netflix-collectible-patches-kids-tv-shows/) & [digit.in](https://www.digit.in/internet/netflix-is-giving-collectibles-to-kids-who-binge-watch-more-39939.html) [Netflix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-kids-clips) is already a perfect platform for binge-watching, but the platform is looking to expand extend its reach to kids with a system that will offer Netflix collectible patches to children who watch certain shows. The system is still in its testing phase, but the experience would gamify kids TV viewing habits and could boost views on their large children's show collection. Some of the shows that include patches are Trolls, Fuller House and A Series of Unfortunate Events. There have been no confirmed designs for the Netflix collectible patches, but the company has already begun tests. Netflix hopes that this system will introduce a more interactive element to the viewing experience and will give children something to talk about and share around the titles they love. The patches currently have no value and don't lead to any reward, but each patch does require a child to watch a particular show, with Netflix somehow taking note of past views. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gamified Viewing:** Offering collectible patches as rewards for watching certain shows gamifies the kids TV viewing experience. - **Interactive Element:** Introducing collectible patches adds an interactive element to the Netflix viewing experience for children. - **Increased Engagement:** The collectible patches system could potentially boost views on Netflix's large children's show collection. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Streaming Services:** Streaming services could adopt similar gamification strategies to enhance user engagement and retention. - **Children's Entertainment:** The collectible patches trend creates opportunities for the children's entertainment industry to enhance viewer loyalty and brand awareness. - **Merchandise and Collectibles:** The collectible patches system opens up possibilities for merchandise and collectible industries to create complementary products that cater to the trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Child-Friendly Streaming Service Clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-kids-clips.md) - [Content-Inspired Physical Retail Experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-house.md) - [Streaming Service Brainteaser Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-puzzled.md) - [Streaming Service Sleeping Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-sleeping-bag.md) - [Collaborative Streaming Game Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-and-roblox.md) - [Nostalgic Sci-Fi Backpack Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-backpack-collection.md) - [Early-Access TV Gaming Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-4.md) - [Chic Sci-Fi Series Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pandora-x-netflix.md) - [Throwback Walkie-Talkie Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-upside-down-capsules-series-3.md)
