A game called: TOUCH POINTS
And this interesting idea I shot in the Mall of the Emirates, it’s a display for Abu Dhabi bank promoting their Credit Card Reward Program.
This customized arcade cabinet game will help you learn how practical is to use their credit card, how to gain points when using it, where to redeem the points and the variety of participating outlets that are allied with this program. While going through the game stages, the consumer will be able to visualize the full benefits of his card and the rich reward program behind it.
