PuzzlePay — Gamified Group Ordering
Keeping customers coming back is hard when every platform competes for attention. PuzzlePay (Win Your Meal) adds a social, competitive layer to ordering: a primary user invites two friends into a Friend Zone, each order earns a puzzle piece, and the group works together to complete a 9-piece puzzle — the top collector wins a free order.
With endless options, users lack motivation to return to one platform for repeat purchases — driving down retention and engagement.
Activate a Friend Zone, invite two friends and earn a puzzle piece per order. Complete the 9-piece puzzle together; the top collector wins a free order — blending social play with rewards.
A loyalty mechanic designed to lift order frequency, retention, AOV and word-of-mouth — backed by loyalty-market data from the UK and US.
