Activations

Give your sponsors more than a logo on a banner.

Quizzes, scratch cards and prize wheels in the FEST app, with your sponsor's name on every screen. Festival-goers play, winners get their prize by email, and you see every entry.

Nobody remembers the logo on the fence.

Sponsors pay for attention, and a banner behind the bar gets very little of it. A game gets a few minutes of someone's evening and a prize they'll show their friends. Activations turns your sponsor deals into something people do instead of something they walk past.

Quizzes and forms

A lineup quiz people actually want to finish.

Write a few questions about your lineup, your town or your sponsor. Forms work the same way for sign-ups, surveys and contest entries.

  • Instant wins, or a draw where you pick the winners
  • Questions and answers translated into each language of your edition
  • A hero image and your own intro text before the first question

Scratch cards and prize wheels

The two games everyone knows how to play.

Scratch to find three matching symbols, or spin the wheel. You choose the visuals and the prizes. Both take a few seconds, which is about the attention span of someone waiting for the next set.

  • Set how many times each person can play
  • Add a wait between attempts
  • Let people win once, or more than once

Prizes and odds

You decide the odds, down to the percent.

Give each prize a win chance and FEST shows the overall odds, like "1 in 3". When a prize runs out, the game keeps going with the prizes that are left.

  • Prizes as a promo code, a QR code, a link or an email follow-up
  • Upload unique codes from a CSV, or use one shared code
  • Reuse the same prize across several games

Sponsors on site

Put the game at the sponsor's booth.

Link a game to a sponsor and their logo appears on the game and the result screen. Hide it from the app and it only opens from a link or a QR code. Print the QR at the sponsor's bar, or send the link in a push notification during the quiet hour before the headliner.

  • "Powered by" with the sponsor's logo and link
  • QR codes to download as PNG or SVG for print
  • Start and end times, so a game runs only during the sponsor's slot

Entries

Every entry, ready for the sponsor meeting.

The submissions table lists each player's email, time, answers and prize. Export it to CSV and bring the numbers to your sponsor recap, or use the list to run a draw.

  • Status for each game: draft, scheduled, live or ended
  • Codes claimed out of the total, per prize
  • CSV with date, email, outcome, prize and code

The details.

What organizers usually ask before signing up.

Games
A quiz, a form, a scratch card or a prize wheel, each linked to a sponsor.
Prizes
Upload your codes and set each prize's win chance. Winners get a promo code, a QR code to scan at a stand, a link or a follow-up by email.
Fairness
Play limits apply per person, so a second account doesn't buy extra tries. FEST decides every result, never the phone.
Winner emails
Every instant win sends an email with the code or QR and the redeem-by date, in the player's language.
Scheduling
Set start and end times. Backstage warns you when two live games overlap.
In the app
The live game shows as a floating button on your festival screens, with the icon, color or logo you choose. Push it or print its QR code.
Sign-in
Players sign in with Apple, Google or a link by email.
Languages
Questions, answers and prize texts in every language of your edition.
Entries
Export the entries, or pick draw winners from the list for forms and quizzes.

Custom activations.

When a quiz or a wheel isn't enough, we design an experience with your team and your partner, built for your site and your audience.

Treasure hunts
Festival-goers explore your site. Each place they visit is a mission that unlocks a badge, and a sponsor can own the hunt or a single stop.
Big-screen games
The crowd plays on their phones and the result plays out on the screens by the stage, with your sponsor at the center.
How we work
A workshop with your team and your partner, a concept that fits your site, a prototype then a beta on your phone, and our team on site during your edition.

Activations

It's anything that gets festival-goers to do something with a sponsor's brand instead of walking past a logo. In FEST, that's a quiz, a form, a scratch card or a prize wheel in the app, with the sponsor's name on it and prizes they provide.

A few that work well in FEST. A lineup quiz the week before the festival, with passes as the prize. A prize wheel that only opens from a QR code at the sponsor's bar. A scratch card sent by push during the slow hour before the headliner. A form where people enter a draw for a meet and greet.

On the win screen, and by email. The prize can be a promo code, a QR code to scan at a stand, a link, or a note that you'll follow up by email. Every instant win also sends an automatic email with the code and the redeem-by date.

You set how many times each person can play and whether they can win more than once. FEST applies those limits per person and decides every result itself, never on the phone.

Yes, for forms and quizzes. In draw mode, FEST collects the entries, then you pick the winners from the list and contact them.

Yes. Activations run in the FEST mobile app. Players sign in with Apple, Google or a link sent by email.

Activations is a module on top of FEST App, billed yearly with no setup fees. The pricing page shows the price in your currency.
