A branded arcade game for promotions is a customized, playable game that carries your logo, colors, and reward codes. adgamify offers six arcade templates you can brand in a no-code editor, publish via embed, link, or QR, and export leads to CSV. Players average 5.2 replays and 68% leave an email.
Promotions compete for attention in a crowded feed, and a static banner or coupon rarely earns a second look. A branded arcade game earns minutes instead of seconds: shoppers play, replay, chase a prize, and leave an email — all inside an experience wrapped in your brand.
adgamify makes branded arcade games practical for marketing teams. You start from one of six proven templates — Tap Rush, Stack, Snake, Glide, Vault, or Bricks — and brand it in a live editor with your colors, logo, and copy. No game studio, no code, no long timeline. Publish it via a one-line embed, a hosted link, or an auto-generated QR code.
This guide covers picking a template, branding it, wiring up prize codes, and measuring the promotion. When you want to build one, start building free or browse the game templates.
Why an arcade game outperforms a static promotion
A static promotion asks for attention and offers a passive image in return. An arcade game offers fun, and fun earns time. adgamify games are score-based and replayable, so a single promotion generates an average of 5.2 plays per person and a session of nearly four minutes.
That is roughly 123 times the 1.8 seconds an average display ad holds attention. For a promotion, that means your offer, your brand, and your reward are in front of the shopper long enough to actually land. And because 68% of players leave an email, the promotion builds your list, not just short-term buzz.

Six arcade templates to brand
adgamify ships six arcade templates, each a distinct mechanic so you can match the game to your promotion and audience. Tap Rush rewards fast tapping, Stack tests timing, Snake and Glide are movement games, Vault is a crack-the-code style challenge, and Bricks is a break-out mechanic.
Every template is included on every plan. You are not paying more to unlock the right game — you pick whichever fits the campaign and brand it. That flexibility lets a single team run a different game each promotion so the experience never feels stale.

Branding it in the live editor
The "branded" part is the whole point, and adgamify live editor makes it fast. Set your brand colors, upload your logo, and write your own copy for the intro, prompts, and lead form. Adjust difficulty so the game is fun but the prize still feels earned. A playable phone preview updates as you edit, so you see the finished experience before you ship.
Because the platform is 100% whitelabel, players never see adgamify anywhere — the game is entirely yours. That matters for a promotion where a third-party logo would break the illusion and dilute your brand.
Most teams go from template to a fully branded, live game in about an hour. See branded game builder for marketing teams for the full build workflow.

Wiring up prize codes and rewards
A promotion needs a payoff. adgamify lets you set prize rules so reward codes unlock at score thresholds — beat the target and the game reveals a discount, a coupon, or a giveaway entry. The reward is earned through play, which makes it feel more valuable than a handed-out code.
You can tier the rewards to match your budget: a common reward for a modest score, a premium reward for a high score. That structure keeps casual players engaged while giving competitive players something to chase, which drives the replays that extend your branded exposure.
Manage all of it from the editor, no code required. For campaign structures and ideas, see prize code campaign software, gamified giveaway ideas, and gamified marketing campaign ideas.
Publishing your promotion everywhere
A branded arcade promotion should run wherever your audience is. adgamify gives you three publish options for every campaign: a one-line embed script for landing and product pages, a hosted link for email and social, and an auto-generated QR code for packaging, posters, and events.
The same game and audience power all three, so a single promotion can span digital and physical channels without extra builds. Drop the embed on your site, share the link in your newsletter, and print the QR on your in-store signage — all pointing at one campaign.
That flexibility is how one branded game becomes an omnichannel promotion. See embed a game on a landing page and QR code game for marketing for channel-specific tactics.
Measuring results and scaling promotions
Because leads and scores are captured per campaign, you can measure each promotion cleanly: plays, replays, opt-in rate, and reward redemptions. Every audience exports to CSV, so the leads you generate flow straight into your ESP or CRM — you own the data.
To run several promotions at once, step up plans: Growth covers three active campaigns and Scale covers twenty, all whitelabel and all with the full feature set. Agencies get a separate workspace and subscription per client, which makes each promotion agency-billable. See whitelabel gamification platform for agencies.
