GAMES
In a time of large displays, smart phones and
competitive lead-generation strategies, an
innovative idea presents itself.
The SMS-To-Screen game is an automated
marketing tool that employs a Computer
screen and a mobile phone to deliver several
value-options to various businesses and their
prospective customers.
The interesting thing about SMS-To-Screen
games is that they do not require any physical
console and can be played remotely by simply
using any mobile phone.
By employing these games, businesses would
be able to influence customer behavior with
attractive incentives, track customer
preferences and habits, generate leads, and
possibly increase their sales through strategic
positioning.
C O N C E P T
SMS-To-Screen games can be displayed on various kinds of screens ranging from:
 Large outdoor screen displays
 Large screen displays at game centers and sporting arenas
 Monitors displayed in malls, stalls, restaurants and other small businesses
 Game screen displayed on a web-page for playing real-time games on a global scale
S C R E E N D I S P L A Y O P T I O N S
S A M P L E D I S P L A Y M E S S A G E
The key incentives that would attract target prospects to effectively engage with businesses through the SMS-To-Screen games
is mainly categorized into prizes and value-options.
I N C E N T I V E S T O P L A Y
PRIZES
• These are the expected winnings resulting from playing a game. These can include:
• Gift items
• Free lunch dates
• Discounts on fees
• Charity donations
• Vouchers or coupons
• Free products and services.
VALUE-OPTIONS
• These are various social outcomes that players would want to be publicly displayed on a screen to express their
personal messages or objectives. These can include:
• ‘I Love You’ messages
• ‘Thank you’ messages
• ‘God Bless You’ messages
• ‘You Are The Best’ messages
• Will You Marry Me’ messages
• Sending a ‘Bouquet of Flowers’ request
• ‘Will You Go On A Date With Me’ messages
• Requesting a special song for a special someone
While the SMS-To-Screen game is played with only a mobile phone, the method of input for playing the game varies according
to the type of incentive offered by the specific business.
 For ‘Prize Incentives Games’, a simple texting of the player’s name to the displayed code activates a particular or a selected
choice of game to automatically play and deliver winnings to the player; while displaying their name on the screen.
 For ‘Value-option Incentive Games’, a simple texting of the player’s name to the displayed code activates a request form on
the user’s smartphone to select/describe the kind of social outcome they might want to express through a couple of
options. An example form is presented below:
I N P U T S T Y L E S
OPTION TAB SUB-OPTIONS
Select A Message
‘I Love You’
‘Thank you’
‘God Bless You’
‘You Are The Best’
‘Will You Marry Me’
‘Will You Go On A Date With Me’
Input The Recipient's Name Example: David Harkins
Make A Request
Send a ‘Bouquet of Flowers’
Request a special song for someone special (this option further presents a list of available songs to choose from)
Upload Picture Here the player optionally uploads the recipient’s picture if it’s available
The player follows the received instructions and plays the game or selects a value-option.
The automated game is automatically initiated and simultaneously sends ‘how to play’ instructions to the player’s phone.
Prospects or customers whose attention are captured and are interested would initiate the game with their mobile phones;
basically by sending their name to a displayed code on the screen.
The ‘CALL TO ACTION’ on the screen tries to capture the attention of prospective players/customers.
The designed game is displayed on screens of any size, positioned at selected strategic locations to effectively capture target
prospects and achieve optimum engagement from the game.
A specific game or value-option is designed for a business/client depending on its particular products, services or engagement
objectives.
