How did the concept behind Bingo! come about?
Giveaways have been garnering its round of popularity over the years and businesses have turned towards social media contests to build brand engagement and reach an increasingly digitally conscious consumer. With this in mind we wanted to bring a novel giveaway experience to Sri Lanka with entertaining puzzles and challenges with cash prizes as rewards.
When the economic crisis hit, we thought it was the perfect time to launch, so we could directly help everyday Sri Lankans financially and also provide a bit of relief through light hearted games and entertainment.
What’s in store for Bingo! participants?
A chance to win a cash prize of up to Rs 10,000 per challenge or vouchers to some of the hottest retail stores and experiences in the country!
It's also not only entertaining and fun to play, but also aims to sharpen the player’s focus and eye for detail through interactive games. Solving puzzles are known to reinforce improved memory, mental speed and thought processes. Moreover, interactive games enable creative problem-solving and are scientifically proven to delay symptoms of Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Convinced much? Bingo! is not just your everyday escape into a fun distraction, but also your supporting hand that keeps your brain power in check!
One success that Bingo! has faced so far?
Success: We've successfully given out Rs. 100,000 in prizes in just 2 months!
How do you decide which puzzles the contestants are in for next?
We spend a lot of time researching interesting puzzles and visual challenges either online or in books and re-create these, so they adapt to a local audience. It's a very time consuming process as we don't want to keep doing the same challenges or else the experience will become stale and boring. However, we also need to find challenges that everyone can understand, so it's definitely a balance that we're still trying to get right.
For this month, we're shifting more towards challenges, where we'll be asking contestants to submit pics or videos of them completing the challenge to win and so we're super excited to see how the response will be!
We can't give away too much information just yet, so you'll have to wait and see what we have in store!
What has been your takeaway from introducing Bingo! to Social Media platforms so far?
Building trust and credibility is essential for a platform like this to succeed and gaining this trust does not happen overnight. There are so many scams on social media these days and we found that a lot of people were initially hesitant to play Bingo as the experience seemed "too good to be true." However, we've spent a lot of time and effort building a rapport with our players and now people see that Bingo is a legitimate experience that can be enjoyed safely.
Does a previous winner have a chance of rewinning the next game?
Yes, they can!
What would you say are the rule breakers of the Bingo! experience?
1) Submitting dangerous or physically / verbally abusive content to us in response to one of our challenges will get you blocked immediately.
2.) Trolling
3.) Spamming
