Play-To-Earn Restaurant Games

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Good Fortune Arcade' Allows Users to Play a Game to Earn Vouchers

— January 20, 2022 — Business
Panda Express has launched 'Good Fortune Arcade,' an online game where players can earn discount codes and vouchers to use at the restaurant. In the spirit of Lunar New Year, people who play Good Fortune Arcade will control a panda bear and run through city streets collecting lucky cards, lucky foods, and information that explains the roots and significance of Lunar New Year.

The game is segmented into four levels, through which the player will chase 'Nian,' the mythological monster in Chinese culture that is responsible for Lunar New Year. Each level will reward the player with a discount code for online and in-store purchases through the Panda Express application. These codes will expire on February 28th, 2022.

In addition to launching this online game, Panda Express is continuing its tradition of giving dine-in customers a lucky red envelope with their meal, in celebration of the holiday.
