This proposal suggests developing a game for Ben and Jerry's Facebook page that allows fans to build a personal list of their favorite flavors by playing a game that "pits" two flavors against each other. By playing, fans would create a list of flavors they haven't tried before. Ben and Jerry's could then use this unique, personal list to offer fans discounts to try those undiscovered flavors. The game would be developed as a Facebook Canvas Application. It would take players between 2-10 minutes to complete their personal list by making flavor comparisons. The goal is to encourage fan engagement while providing targeted marketing offers.

functional game. This document serves to present the general idea and to
open up a dialogue on how to realize this. After we will discuss the exact
details on this, Blickwinkel will offer a competitive quote and planning for this
project.
Blickwinkel
Blickwinkels is a fresh start-up that focuses on unexpected and fun innovations,
based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The name Blickwinkel is German and means perspective, or point of view. By
taking another perspective on everything, Blickwinkel is always amazed by the
way things are, like seeing it for the first time. From that point on it is easy to
see how things could be done in a better, more relevant way.
I am Reinout de Kraker, business developer at Blickwinkel. I got my master
degree in Strategic Product Development in 2007 at the Delft University of
Technology and build four years of professional experience since. I was part
of innovative service design teams for many national and international service
providers, in projects In which the input and motivation of consumers always
Blickwinkel was the center of attention.

After the fan accepts the ‘request for permission’ dialogue, the game starts:
From a series of 20 local flavors, repeatedly two flavors are set against each
other in a face-off, as shown to the right.
The player has to choose his favorite of the two as a clock counts down. When
Since: 2005 VS Since: 1987
the choice is made, two new flavors appear. The player can also choose the “I With: With:
Fairtrade cacao, Cherries and
never tasted this one yet” button. That flavor is than excluded from the game. fairtrade cream choco chunks!
and lovely cream!
By continuously choosing the preferred flavor, the
player will create a personal top #. The exact operating
principle is quite complex, but the choices the player makes influence the
number of comparisons needed to make this list. Making a complete list will
take somewhere between 2 and 10 minutes.
It is cool to make and share the personal list: people can discuss why one 07 Cherry Garcia

We would love to get in touch personally to elaborate on possibilities to
realize this fun project, and connect tasty Ben & Jerry innovations to the people
who do not know it yet. We feel that the potential of this game is huge.
Please contact us by mail or telephone, and we are sure we will work out
