Retailers engage consumers' sense of play with shoppable games

Implications - Armed with the knowledge that modern consumers consider shopping an experience rather than a chore, many contemporary retailers have updated their approach by offering a gamified path to purchase. By transforming the act of shopping into a hands-on adventure, retailers are providing a shoppable form of entertainment, as well as encoding a strong, memorable brand message through the practice of play.
