Four apps, one experience

Bracket, vote, trading card, selfie — designed as one ladder.

Staffed and self-serve

Works at peak hours and at 3 a.m. with nobody staffing it.

Shipped configured

iPad paired, printer ready, URLs live. Nothing left to install.

The story

Tournament energy on the floor. A souvenir guests post themselves.

March Madness at The Cosmopolitan, the Las Vegas flagship of Coca-Cola's partnership with MGM Resorts. Tournament energy on the floor, foot traffic into the booth, and a souvenir guests would post on their own.

Two constraints made it hard. The booth had to work fully staffed at peak hours and fully self-serve at three in the morning. And every interaction had to feel like one experience rather than four gadgets bolted to a wall.

So the strategy and the software had to be designed at the same time, by the same hands.

The loop

Three rungs, each one earning the next.

The bracket made the vote matter, the vote earned the card, the card earned the post.

    The moment that comes right after the card.

Instead of putting isolated toys next to each other, we created a cohesive experience with four different technological components.

Talk to us

We don't sell kiosks.

We build the thing the moment actually needs, and hand it over ready for the floor.
