Why it works

## Why are QR codes so powerful with gamification?

Most people in your shop leave without you knowing who they are. A QR code with a game changes that. They scan, play on their own phone and leave their email — and you get a contact you can reach again online.

- Works with any phone camera — no app to download
- Connects your shop with your newsletter and webshop
- See how many played and signed up — in near real time
