PlayAbly Podcast Episode 28: Gamify the Aisle: In-Store Retail Gamification That Works
After a brief hiatus, the PlayAbly Podcast is back — and Angelo’s hitting the road. From LA to New York, he’s meeting with brands IRL to show how retail gamification isn't just for your Shopify store — it works just as powerfully in-store. We dive into PlayAbly's latest interactive retail activation with Central Perk, blending shoppable games and live trivia for discounts in a real-world Friends café.
From the psychology behind blind box mechanics like Pop Mart and Labubu, to Disney’s physical scavenger hunts and JetBlue’s 25-city loyalty challenge, this episode explores how today’s most engaging brands are using gamification to turn wait times into playtimes — and purchases.
You'll hear ideas for:
- Turning retail lines into customer loyalty programs
- Driving retention marketing with trivia, collectibles, and surprise reveals
- Building VIP programs that feel more like adventures than point systems
- Using QR codes and Shopify gamification to delight customers wherever they shop
Whether you're a DTC founder, CRM marketer, or retail brand manager looking to elevate your customer journey, this is your crash course in activating loyalty through play.
