Working with AR specialist Zappar, we created the Robinsons Big Fruit Hunt, an augmented reality treasure hunt, using geo-caching technology to let families hunt for virtual fruit across the UK, for the chance to win one of 90,000 prizes, including the first drinks bottle especially designed for squash.

Working with AR specialist Zappar, we created the Robinsons Big Fruit Hunt, an augmented reality treasure hunt, using geo-caching technology to let families hunt for virtual fruit across the UK, for the chance to win one of 90,000 prizes, including the first drinks bottle especially designed for squash.

It all started with a phone call, “We need your help. Can you help us develop an activation for summer ’22 to replace our Wimbledon sponsorship? It needs to appeal to the trade, encourage families to put Robinsons in their water bottles and help modernise perception of the Robinsons brand.”

Leaning into post-pandemic trends, we identified that we needed to nudge consumer behaviour to put squash in their drinks bottles by creating an occasion where families could use their drinks bottles out and about together with Robinsons at its heart.

The result was The Robinsons Big Fruit Hunt virtual treasure hunt. A new to the industry AR game encouraging families to get out and about in green spaces, combined with a brand activation rewarding them for finding 4 virtual fruits.

The mechanic was simple. To play, consumers just needed to:
– Scan the QR code on one of over 19 million promotional packs
– Visit the map to find pins in a green space within 1000m of their location
– Walk to the location and click on the pin to reveal fruit in augmented reality
– Fill their bottle with 4 fruits to win
