Custom Games with Unique Codes

Over the years we have created many custom marketing application and data solutions, when time and resources allow us, using our core Gaming Engine and advanced coding. Contact us if your project requires a custom solution. Typically we require that custom systems are applicable to field of games, we do consider all requests. This web page assumes you understand the foundation of our games.

Our backend has very sophisticated abilities. So much so that the game element may be removed to handle data verification and code confirmation for other applications.

VIN Validation Tool

Promotional Game Codes for Branded Games

Use play codes, coupon codes, redemption codes, and tracking codes to control access,
reward players, and make your promotion more measurable.

 

Promotional game codes give companies more control over who can play, how often they
can play, and what happens after someone wins. Whether used as a one-time play code,
a coupon code, a redemption code, or a tracking code, codes can make a branded game
feel more exclusive, measurable, and valuable.

With Brand Gaming, codes can be used before the game, after the game, or passed through
to another page as part of a larger promotion.

What Are Promotional Game Codes?

Promotional game codes are unique or shared codes used to control access, deliver rewards,
or track campaign activity.

Incoming Codes

Incoming codes control access. A player enters a valid code before they are allowed
to play the game.

Outgoing Codes

Outgoing codes deliver rewards. A player receives a coupon, redemption, or claim code
after they play.

Play Codes: Control Who Can Play

Play codes are entered before someone can play the game. These can work like a one-time
password, receipt validation code, invitation code, or access code.

A company can upload a list of valid codes into the Gaming Engine. When a player enters
a code, the system checks whether that code is valid and whether it has already been used.

Example uses:

  • A retail store gives customers a code printed on their receipt.
  • A trade show vendor gives VIP visitors a card with a one-time play code.
  • A sales team emails invited prospects a private access code.
  • A restaurant prints codes on table tents or takeout packaging.
  • A dealership gives test-drive customers a code to spin for a prize.

Example: Receipt-Based Retail Promotion

A retailer wants to reward customers who make a purchase during a weekend sale.
Each receipt includes a unique play code.

The customer visits the promotional game page, enters the code, and plays a digital
prize wheel. If the code is valid, they get one chance to win a discount, gift card,
free item, or bonus offer.

This helps the retailer drive purchases before game play while also preventing the
same person from playing repeatedly with the same code.

Example: Trade Show VIP Play Codes

A trade show exhibitor wants to create a more exclusive booth experience. Instead of
letting anyone walk up and play, the exhibitor gives qualified prospects a printed card
with a one-time play code.

The visitor enters the code on an iPad or kiosk and plays a branded instant win game.
This gives the sales team more control over who receives prize opportunities and helps
focus the promotion on higher-value leads.

Example: Dealership Test Drive Promotion

An auto dealer wants to encourage more test drives. After a visitor completes a test
drive, the salesperson gives them a code to play an instant win game.

The customer enters the code and spins to win a prize such as branded merchandise,
a service discount, a gas card, or a larger promotional prize.

Outgoing Codes After Someone Plays

Codes can also be sent after a person plays. This is useful when the prize, offer,
or redemption needs to be delivered by email.

After the game is played, the player can receive a branded email containing a unique
coupon code, redemption code, promo code, or claim number.

Example: Unique Coupon Code by Email

A player spins a prize wheel and wins 20% off. After submitting the form, they receive
an email that includes a unique coupon code.

Congratulations! You won 20% off your next order.
Use code: SAVE20-X7K92

The code can be tracked, limited, or redeemed through the company’s website,
point-of-sale system, or sales team.

Example: Prize Claim Code

At a trade show, a visitor plays a game and wins a physical prize. Instead of handing
out the prize immediately, the system emails them a claim code.

You won a branded tumbler.
Show this code at the booth to claim your prize: BOOTH-1842

This gives the booth staff a simple way to verify prizes and control fulfillment.

Example: Digital Gift or Reward Code

A company wants to give winners a digital reward, such as a gift card or downloadable
offer. After the game, the winner receives a unique code by email.

You won a $10 digital reward.
Your reward code is: GIFT10-5M8Q2

This is useful for online promotions, employee incentives, customer appreciation
campaigns, and post-event follow-up.

Passing Codes Into Redirect Pages

Codes can also be passed into a page or URL after the game. This allows companies to send
players to different pages based on their result while including a unique code in the link.

https://example.com/winner?code=ABC123

Or:

https://example.com/offer?prize=discount&code=SAVE20-X7K92

This is useful when the reward is handled on another website, landing page, shopping cart,
registration form, or redemption system.

Example: Prize-Specific Landing Pages

A player wins a free sample. After the game, they are redirected to a landing page with
their unique code already included in the URL.

https://example.com/free-sample?code=SAMPLE-9421

The landing page can display instructions, collect shipping details, or confirm the reward.

Example: Different Redirects Based on Prize Level

A game can send players to different pages depending on what they win.

  • Grand prize winner goes to a prize claim page.
  • Discount winner goes to a shopping page.
  • Sample winner goes to a product request form.
  • Non-winner goes to a thank-you page with a consolation offer.

Why Use Codes in a Promotional Game?

Codes make branded games more flexible and more controlled. They can help businesses:

  • Limit game play to qualified people
  • Prevent duplicate plays
  • Reward purchases, visits, appointments, or actions
  • Deliver unique coupons or claim numbers
  • Track which campaign, location, salesperson, or event generated the play
  • Connect game activity to email, landing pages, shopping carts, or redemption systems
  • Create a more exclusive experience

Common Code Promotion Ideas

Retail Stores

Print a unique code on receipts so only paying customers can play.

Trade Shows

Give qualified booth visitors a code after a conversation, demo, or badge scan.

Restaurants

Add game codes to takeout bags, table cards, receipts, or loyalty emails.

Auto Dealers

Give codes after test drives, service visits, or showroom appointments.

Product Launches

Send private play codes to early customers, VIPs, or email subscribers.

Employee Rewards

Give staff members unique codes for internal contests or appreciation campaigns.

Incoming Codes vs. Outgoing Codes

There are two simple ways to think about promotional game codes:

Incoming codes control access.
They decide who is allowed to play.

Outgoing codes deliver rewards.
They give the player something after they play.

Used together, they can create a complete promotional flow.

  1. Customer makes a purchase.
  2. Customer receives a one-time play code.
  3. Customer enters the code and plays the game.
  4. Customer wins a prize.
  5. Customer receives an email with a unique redemption code.
  6. Customer uses the code online, in-store, or at the event.

Make Promotions More Measurable

Codes are especially useful when a promotion needs to be tracked. A code can represent
a campaign, salesperson, store location, event, prize, or customer segment.

NYCBOOTH-1001
DEALER25-4382
VIPSHOW-7209
SAVE20-X7K92

This makes it easier to see where players came from and which parts of the promotion
performed best.
