McDonald’s Australia set to launch games where players can score themselves free menu items

McDonald’s has today launched its ‘Macca’s Mini Games’ giving customers the chance to win free meals and cash prizes. 

Brent Clarke, Digital Director at McDonald’s Australia, said the games will be available for a limited time from February 5 in the My Macca’s app. 

Users can access the app to find a tag displaying the Mini Games promotion. 

There are three games to choose from that users can play once a day so users can win free or discounted menu items (stock)

‘Our customers love game play and winning our product so Macca’s Mini Games is almost an extension of the Monopoly promotion,’ Mr Clarke told Daily Mail Australia.

‘It lives inside the My Macca’s app. They’re quick, they’re fun and they’re easy.’

There are three games to choose from that users can play once a day with the chance to win free or discounted menu items.

The games include Lucky Dip, where you try and drop a nugget into sauce, Totez A-Maze, a labyrinth made of fries – and Mini Mini Golf.

Once those have been played a fourth game, Macca’s Run, is unlocked and gives users the chance to go in the draw to win a VISA voucher. 

While items such as cars and homes won’t be on offer as they were in the Monopoly promotion, Mr Clarke said the plan was to ‘keep it simple’.

‘Mini Games is different in that way. We’ve tried to keep it simple and food-based, as that’s what our customers love the most,’ Mr Clarke said.

The games are designed for an older audience with mobile phones, unlike the Happy Meal toys that have been a staple of the brand for young children. 

The Macca’s Mini Games will be available for a month in the My Macca’s app from February 5.
