INTERACTIVE LOCKER QUIZ
JD x New Balance 1000 Launch

UNLOCK THE DROP

 In partnership with JD Sports, New Balance wanted to create an experience that would go beyond traditional retail for their 1000s series launch, hoping to turn the product release into something that would leave an impression.

In response, we created UNLOCK THE DROP, a hands-on game designed to spark engagement and excitement. Shoppers answered brand-related trivia, unlocked physical lockers, and received instant rewards. The activation combined physical interaction with digital storytelling, giving every participant a chance to walk away with both exclusive prizes and a unique experience to remember.

Gamified Custom Booth
Instamedia crafted a custom gamified experience for the launch of Astro’s FRAMED drama series, blending interactive gameplay with immersive storytelling and live reaction capture. Guests began by watching a teaser trailer before being thrown into a memory game, with flashing red lights and sirens ramping up the tension as time ran out. A hidden camera recorded their genuine reactions, later delivered as split-frame photos that captured the shift from calm curiosity to full-blown surprise and created a striking, memorable takeaway.
