Evil Genius Designs makes history again today with the national launch of the first mobile game payments application for the battery-powered Dynamics ePlate™ credit card device. The innovative offering lets consumers earn in-game items for Black Friday™: The Game with every purchase.
When the Black Friday™: The Game experience™ is selected, a consumer will earn game currency, power-ups and exclusive items anywhere they use their Dynamics ePlate™ credit card device. The items are delivered to the game on their mobile phone the second the purchase is completed.
Consumers can sign up for a battery-powered Dynamics ePlate™ credit card device at dynamicsinc.com/blackfriday.
“Taking mobile gaming beyond the phone and into payments with Dynamics ePlate is simply amazing,” said Tracy Kobeda Brown, Evil Genius Designs CEO & Founder. “ePlate’s gamification of payments will allow users to impact their games as they make everyday purchases.”
“Evil Genius has developed a groundbreaking offering for ePlate users with Black Friday™: The Game,” said Jeff Mullen, CEO of Dynamics. “Now, each purchase a consumer makes with an ePlate device can impact a game.”
The ePlate™ credit card device is subject to a credit approval.
How It Works
ePlate™ is connected to an ecosystem of experience™ providers that each deliver an individualized brand experience, through an experience™ application, to the consumer. Prior to a purchase, consumers select multiple experience™ applications on their smart phone, tablet, or computer to port to their ePlate™ device. At the time of purchase, the consumer can use different buttons on their ePlate™ device to select different experience™ applications. To learn more about the ePlate™ device, watch the video at www.dynamicsinc.com.
