Design Process
💡
Smartphone addiction is a worldwide phenomenon, especially prevalent in China and becomes an even bigger problem during the Chinese New Year. Our devices have taken over our lives. With more on our phones, more we lose the real, human connections with our families and friends.
Concept
Our concept focus on the theme of togetherness and the importance of connecting with people, within the WeChat’s mini app game that reward people for staying away from their phones, targeting to increase brand online awareness and conversions, as well as build and maintain brand's reputation.
The mechanism is simple: you choose an IKEA product in the app that you would like to get. But instead of a price tag, it has a “time tag” attached to it. Once you choose the product and accept the challenge, a countdown starts on your screen and all you need to do is NOT touch your phone for the duration required to win that reward. Depending on the value of the reward, you have to stay away from your phone for half an hour or more. And if you switch from the app to use your phone in any other way, the system detects the activity and you fail the challenge.
When the time elapses, the app generates a tongue-in-cheek certificate that declares you a “great family person.” And, of course, you also win great savings on the selected IKEA product with the time you spent away from your phone.By creating a hack within your phone that rewards you for not using it, we’ve enable people to have a detox from their phone addiction and have real interactions with their families in their homes.
