Wendy’s has gone full Wendy’s, releasing a 15-hour RPG primarily based on the fast-food chain’s branding.
We had been caught off guard by trailers exhibiting some genuinely compelling turn-based gameplay, however the full launch of WendyQuest has introduced one more shock: actual rewards for beating bosses.
Each time you defeat a Mech Boss, the sport will reward you with one ‘Nook Stone,’ which comes with a novel code. Enter the code into the ‘Gives’ tab on the Wendy’s app, and also you’ll get an opportunity to win one of many following meals rewards:
WendyQuest meals rewards
- FREE Medium Fry w/ buy
- FREE Small Traditional Frosty w/ buy
- FREE 10 PC Nuggs w/ buy
- FREE Biscuit or Croissant w/ buy
- FREE Dave’s Single w/ buy
There are 5 Mech Bosses within the recreation, which provides you a complete of 5 possibilities to attain one of many rewards. Sadly, repeat encounters don’t seem to internet further codes.
The rewards aren’t totally free — to really redeem them, you’ll should make a “separate qualifying buy.” Traditional, I do know. Reward eligibility is proscribed to U.S. residents who’re 18 and older, and gamers have seven days after redeeming a code in-app to finish an order earlier than it expires.
The actual-life rewards will endure “whereas provides final,” indicating the promotion could also be time-limited. It will be type of wild if it was a everlasting fixture of the Wendy’s model, however you by no means know. The corporate simply launched their third-quarter financials, reporting a 7.6% decline in U.S. systemwide gross sales and 5.3% decline in same-restaurant gross sales, and has been going all-in on the advertising and marketing stunts to try to make up some floor.
WendyQuest: Legend of the 4 Nook Stones launched as a free-to-play recreation on Steam, Android, and iOS units on November 4, hitting a peak participant depend of simply shy of 400 on Steam. Launching concurrently the Ocarina of Time remake was an attention-grabbing selection, to say the least, and makes WendyQuest one of many few video games releasing in the month of GTA 6.
I can’t imagine you guys made a retro RPG referred to as WendyQuest you could obtain now. Oh wait that was us.
