KFC ventures into AR mobile games with the launch of the The Great Bucket Hunt

KFC has just dropped ‘The Great Bucket Hunt’ a mobile-based adventure game with augmented reality (AR) that allows KFC fans to win food, sports and food experiences.

Available to KFC customers nationwide, players can search for virtual buckets placed all over the country, with prizes worth up to $50,000 to be won.

Kristi Woolrych, CMO at KFC Australia, said:We’re so excited to launch ‘The Great Bucket Hunt’ for the first time to give Australians the chance to play and win big with a tasty selection of prizes.

“We know our fans go crazy for our food, and so our prizes are made up of delicious Kentucky Fried Chicken, KFC bucket list experiences, as well as a number of cash prizes, with everyone walking away a winner. We hope our fans make the most of ‘The Great Bucket Hunt’ by venturing out and finding the hidden buckets.”
