The mobile gaming app is truly the cherry on top for viewers at home who not only want to watch a game show but also want to partake.  According to Nielsen, 73% of adults use a digital device while watching TV1 and 55% of people watching TV with phone in hand are playing games2 – presenting a ripe opportunity for Pepsi to engage consumers at home on a deeper, more integrated level.

"When we started working with FOX Entertainment on 'CHERRIES WILD,' we set out to deliver a unique game show that would entertain and engage viewers and fans on a deeper level, complementing the traditional TV experience," said Todd Kaplan, Vice President of Marketing at Pepsi. "We know our Pepsi consumers believe in the possibility of winning big and are always up for a challenge, so we are giving them an opportunity to win big anytime, anywhere with our new mobile app."

"We are thrilled to be collaborating with such an iconic and powerful brand like Pepsi on CHERRIES WILD," said Rob Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment & Specials, FOX Entertainment. "The CHERRIES WILD app takes the excitement of the show from the TV screen into viewers' homes for the ultimate game play experience."

Anyone, anywhere looking for a chance to win will now be able to get in on the "CHERRIES WILD" action any day of the week. 

  • Playing along with the "CHERRIES WILD" show:  Each week, as the "CHERRIES WILD" contestants battle it out on TV, viewers at home can participate in their own version of the show during two distinct moments through the mobile app, specifically:
    • CHERRIES "Wild Moment!": Five spinning reels will appear on viewers' apps as the "Wild Moment!" happens on television, and viewers can pull their own virtual handle on the mini version of TV's biggest slot machine. If the reels match exactly with the reels of the contestants on the show, they'll win exactly what is won in the show each week thanks to Pepsi Wild Cherry.
    • Trivia Rush: The game continues during the commercial break! Consumers will simultaneously compete in a timed sequence to answer different trivia questions for the opportunity to win $2,500 each, with one winner in the East/Central time zone airing and one winner in the Pacific time zone airing.
  • Instant Wins at Retail:  Fans across the country can try their luck at winning instant prizes by using the CHERRIES WILD app to scan unique QR codes on specially marked 12 oz 12 packs and 20 oz bottles of Pepsi Wild Cherry, Diet Pepsi Wild Cherry and Pepsi Zero Sugar Wild Cherry available at retailers nationwide.
  • Hit the Slots:  In addition to its evergreen multiplayer pop culture trivia games, the CHERRIES WILD app has a virtual slot machine for fans to pull whenever they are feeling lucky!

The CHERRIES WILD app (Beta/version 1) is available today in the Apple App Store and in Google Play. The Scan to Win game is completely free to play and download immediately; the next phase of the app will launch in February, in tandem with the premiere of "CHERRIES WILD."

About "CHERRIES WILD"

Hosted by Jason Biggs, "CHERRIES WILD" is a primetime trivia game show debuting on Sunday, February 14 (7:00-7:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.  It is the latest collaborative effort from Pepsi and FOX Entertainment to provide engaging, interactive programming to their fans and followers at a time when they are spending more time than ever at home.

During each 30-minute episode of "CHERRIES WILD," a team of two contestants must face two high-pressure rounds of pop culture trivia. First, in the "Fact or Fiction" round, they'll need to separate truth from falsehoods in record time. Next, during "One Big Question," the stakes get even higher as what seems like an easy task, answering just one question, proves to be the biggest challenge. For every correct answer, they will earn either a spin, guaranteed cash or capture a coveted Wild Cherry. 

To add to the excitement even more and keep the players (and viewers) on the edges of their seats, every episode will feature a "Wild Moment!" At some point during the game, the entire slot machine will spontaneously "Go Wild" and reveal the five spinning reels. Competitors get to stop the reels one-by-one and hope that they land on "Big Cash" or "Free Spins" that they can bank for the final round.

In the final round, the team will lock in the Cherries they accumulated during the trivia rounds and take their first big pull on the five-reel slot machine. With each spin, contestants have a choice: walk away with the cash in their bank or risk it in hopes of locking in a Wild Cherry. To win the ultimate $250,000 jackpot, contestants must collect and spin a total of five Wild Cherries on the slot machine.

Pepsi worked with The Content Collective, the entertainment and content marketing division of Omnicom Media Group and OMD to negotiate and structure the CHERRIES WILD partnership.
