    Interactive Brand Activations for Food & Beverage

    Food and drinks brands win on moments. A gesture-controlled game turns a screen in a busy space into a branded moment with a prize at the end.

    The challenges we hear most

    Impulse categories need a trigger

    A reminder is not enough; shoppers respond to a reason to act now.

    Sampling needs a crowd

    Activations depend on getting people to stop at the stand.

    Short campaign windows

    Promotions run for weeks, so the setup must be quick and reusable.

    Public spaces limit touch

    Shared touchscreens are impractical around food and drink.

    How interactive digital signage helps

    TapGest has delivered gesture-controlled prize games for drinks and food brands, including Jägermeister and Lasta's Bingo brand in Sarajevo.

    The mechanic is a spin-and-win wheel of fortune played with hand movement in front of the display — no touching, no app.

    The game frame is fully branded, so the activation carries the brand's identity, prizes and messaging.

    How it works

    Brand the game

    The wheel, visuals and prizes are produced in the brand's identity.

    Play with a gesture

    Visitors spin the wheel with a hand movement in front of the screen.

    Reveal the prize

    The result links to a sample, discount or giveaway handed out at the stand.

    Move it to the next location

    The same activation can travel across a promotional tour.
