THE GREAT OREO COOKIE QUEST
The Great Oreo Cookie Quest is a mobile app with a complimentary website that leverages object recognition to discover hidden rewards by scanning items in the real world. It takes users on an incredible journey that allows them to make discoveries in order to win digital prizes such as stickers and wallpapers that can be uploaded to their phone.
As players accrue points by making more discoveries, they will be able to win bigger prizes such as Google Play Store vouchers. When a user scans packages of Oreo cookies, they will be entered into the grand sweepstakes! The Great Oreo Cookie Quest was developed to be available in 17 countries in Europe & Russia as well as 13 countries in Latin America.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
Being pioneers in the Augmented Reality space, Gravity Jack was a perfect fit for OREO’s search for an agency that could develop software capable of scanning and recognizing everyday objects. The overall objective of the OREO Cookie Quest application was to encourage users to scan objects as they go about their day as part of an OREO-themed scavenger hunt. To make this happen, Gravity Jack worked closely with the client to build a robust database of everyday objects such as coffee mugs, watches, and of course, OREO Cookies that app users can scan in hopes of unlocking prizes. The database also included a backend framework that allowed the client to add new scanable objects and edit or remove existing objects.
When a user scanned a recognizeable object within the database, a 3D OREO would appear on the screen and perform an animation where the cookie twisted open, revealing a prize. Prizes included exclusive videos, stickers, wallpapers, and even the ability to be entered into a drawing for a vacation getaway! As users scanned objects in the hopes of collecting all of the objects, the app’s database would keep track of which items were captured and which were still available. In the event a user collected all the items, additional prizes were made available to them.
Additionally, Gravity Jack created a crossplatform website for the Cookie Quest where users unlocked additional content that included games, coupons, and the ability to download the app. The OREO Cookie Quest was released in the app stores accross several countries throughout the world including Europe and Latin America. To make this happen, Gravity Jack had to ensure that each language was correctly deployed wherever the app was downloaded, while also adhering to different app store regulations that varied by country — making for a succesful glbal campaign for the OREO team.
3D DEVELOPMENT
Gravity Jack’s 3D team replicated a series of 3D versions of the OREO cookie that featured various icons and colors. Once an object was scanned and recognized, the 3D cookie would appear on the screen and animate by twisting open — ultimately revealing a prize.
3D Asset Optimization
Adding details and optimizing existing 3D models for mobile use.
WIREFRAMES
The OREO Cookie Quest mobile app had several screens that tusers could potentially experience while exploring. To ensure every action lead to the corresponding screen, Gravity Jack built a robust series of wireframes prior to development.
