Instant Win: the Mystery Box – Fastory

The Mystery Box is one of the formats of your Fanzone's Instant Win Block. The fan opens a box and immediately discovers the surprise it hides.

What is it for?

The Mystery Box plays on the "lootbox" effect: the excitement of discovering hidden content. It is a highly engaging Instant Win for distributing prizes and creating anticipation around your rewards.

How is it played?

The fan taps the game button (OPEN by default), the box opens and reveals its content: if they land on a treasure, they win a prize; otherwise, a screen invites them to try again. The result is instant.

In your Fanzone editor, click Add a Block and, in the Gamification category, choose Mystery Box.

Customize the texts via the three tabs: Introduction, Win, and Lose.
