Acrelec Kiosks Selected to Deploy Burger King, Activision Immersive In-Restaurant Experience
Acrelec K27 kiosks transform into a gaming system to promote Burger King and Activision’s global marketing campaign for the highly anticipated launch of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II”
Acrelec, a leader in quick-service restaurant (QSR) technology, is powering a global promotional campaign between the original Home of the Whopper, Burger King, and popular gaming franchise, Activision, for the release of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.” Acrelec self-service kiosks will be used to redesign Burger King restaurants in the style of the video game, which is now live in over 35 countries.
As an extension of the new Call of Duty-themed Whopper Meal, Burger King is redesigning certain store locations into immersive experiences and a branded “skin.” The highly customizable Acrelec K27 kiosk in Burger King Paris Alésia will transform into a video game where customers can experience playing Modern Warfare II on October 29 and 30. When customers buy a “Call of Duty”-branded Whopper Meal through the kiosk, they can redeem codes for in-game rewards such as burger-themed skin and additional experience points. Fans will also be invited to demonstrate their video gaming abilities to track down hidden QR codes in an interactive game played on the kiosk.
