OVERVIEW
Telescope created the themed holiday Bingo Game that was composed of various movie moments unique to each film (instead traditional Bingo numbers). By giving the player new opportunities to win each movie as well as fresh content, at-home viewers had clear incentive to not only tune in to each of the new holiday films but login for a new chance to win each time.
Lifetime asked viewers to “watch & play along” via on-air and social media calls to action. Viewers were asked to go to the Lifetime site, sign up and get their personal card to play along by matching movie moments they saw occurring in the film with phrases on their bingo card. The Lifetime Bingo application also included an instant win game component. The application ran for two months to maximize viewership for the life of the entire holiday season.
HOW IT WORKED
Each user received a unique Bingo card that they were able to play along with throughout the holiday season. Users would go to Lifetime.com to get their card, watch the movies on Lifetime, and if any of their phrases on the card matched the movie they could click that card piece in hopes of eventually getting Bingo! The site was optimized for swipe up functionality on Instagram, so Lifetime was not only able to promote the game on their social but specifically embed the experience in their Instagram account for a low drop rate within the social platform.
