So a couple of weeks ago we asked if you fancied a challenge? Many of our readers took on the challenge form the movie geeks over at Meerkat Movies as they tested the nation to see who comes out on top in a battle of film knowledge. The cinematic game has been created to test and tease viewers, in celebration of the year-long Meerkat Movies 2 for 1 cinema ticket reward.
Bringing to life ‘find the clue’ picture brainteasers, users had to decipher 52 hidden film clues strategically woven throughout the video in less than 90 seconds. With one clue to represent each week of the year customers can claim the Meerkat Movies code, a whole host of movie genres have been combined to create one epic film spectacular.
Through the first-person perspective, it captures the journey of a film fan arriving at the cinema, before taking their seats amongst some familiar faces. Consumers will need to hunt out nods to iconic moments from classics such as The Great Escape and The Seven Year Itch to family favourites Lego Movie and Babe and heartwarming comedies such as Little Miss Sunshine and Notting Hill.
Many movie moguls did a great job to recognise the handmade origami unicorn or to place the tattoo of a mysterious passing lady and decode the trembling glass of water? Bragging rights were up for grabs as users shared their results on social media to impress friends or expose their lacklustre movie expertise.
Julie Daniels, Head of Customer Rewards at comparethemarket.com, said: “We really wanted to celebrate our fantastic year-long Meerkat Movies reward through the magic of cinema. We’ve borrowed some of the most iconic film references and mixed them with some silver screen techniques, to create a piece of cinematic content which highlights the sheer variety of genres that can be enjoyed with our offer. We hope viewers have fun trying to spot all 52, but we won’t be surprised if a few cleverly placed clues are only caught by keen-eyed movie fanatics.”
The release of the Meerkat Movies quiz follows news that the app recently surpassed three million downloads and the reward has achieved a momentous ten million ticket redemptions, saving the UK £74,900,000 (with cinema tickets costing on average £7.49[1], if a customer were to take full advantage of the 2-for-1 offer every week for a year, they could save over £389.48, effectively watching 52 free movies.
