Wendy’s Just Released a Video Game Where You Can Win Fast Food
I won a medium fries by defeating a sinister robot that looked suspiciously similar to a McDonald’s french fry container.
Wendy's has launched a free mobile game called WendyQuest, where players can win fast food prizes. The game features the company's red-headed mascot as a wisecracking warrior battling evil french fry robots. WendyQuest was announced on November 4 and can be downloaded on iOS, Android, and Steam. Players must sign up for a Wendy's account to redeem promo codes for items like medium fries, which must be purchased at Wendy's locations.
The game's retro-style graphics and gameplay are reminiscent of early RPGs from the late 1980s and early 1990s, with added timing elements. Wendy's has a history of incorporating real-world prizes into video games, such as the Swordquest series in the 1980s and the private island prize in Just Cause 3 in 2015. However, WendyQuest's promo codes expire seven days after being obtained, and they are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
