Description
Shuffler's mechanism perfectly meets your needs for visibility and branding, while also boosting your recruitment: it allows you to promote your brand, your products or your rewards by encouraging users to focus on the latter.
In this famous game adapted as an instant-win game, users must focus on an object which is hidden under one of three cups and shuffled in front of them. If a reward is available when users access the Shuffler instant-win game, they will find the winning container regardless of the object they have clicked on.

To find out the graphics specifications for this module's background images, please check the 'Game design' section of this article. You also have the option of adding a single background color that will surround your game pages - you can leave the basic color or choose to standardize your campaign with a color that reminds the users of your brand or game pages, for example.
Game settings
Number of participation: Set the number of participation per day, week, month, campaign or per user, then create and select your 'Already Played' page. If the users try to play again, they will be redirected to this page. We recommend to set up this parameter for 1 participation/day, in order to encourage the users to come back regularly on your campaign.

Cup Box (front view)
Box (top view)
Music Box
Door (right opening)
Door (left opening)
You will find the corresponding animations below.
Winners uniqueness: this option allows you to choose the number of rewards that can potentially be won by the same user on your campaign, via the winning moment(s) it contains. See our dedicated article for more information.
Result pages: Set your 'Won' and 'Lost' pages: they will be displayed once the button has been clicked, and the page displayed will be depending if a reward has been distributed or not.
The various game animation modes:
Customizing the appearance
Visual of the hidden object: This is the object the user will have to find in the containers. This could be, for instance, a product that you want to promote or the reward offered by your campaign.

the closed door visual in the 'Door' mode

Rewards setup
The shuffler is a winning moment, in other words, it is a mechanism dedicated to the distribution of rewards. If you have not yet set up rewards for your campaign, follow this link.

Examples of Shuffler Campaigns
Check out few examples of Shuffler campaigns below and in our " Inspiration" area
Winter is a key advertising period for Président and its products. To ensure the brand's visibility, users are invited to find the Fondue packaging hidden in a Président bag, set in a warm graphic universe. | Universal Music is launching a co-branded campaign with Yop to boost the company's reputation among its target audience - young people aged 12 to 25. Shuffler becomes a 'scratching' animation, with an audio mixer in the background, while vinyl records hide a bottle of Yop for the customization of the engine. |
To advertise its new wooden toys collection, Lidl invites users to find a kitchen in one of the toy boxes; the kitchen is one of the collection's flagship toys, and also one of the rewards of the final draw. | McDonald's has created a Halloween-themed game to promote their Happy mascot and engage their target audience: users must find Happy, who is hiding in one of the pumpkins and feeling sick after eating so much candy. |
