FAQs

Questions, answered straight.

What is a branded game?

A branded game is a playable experience built around a brand or campaign — usually a fast, web-based mini-game played from a link on social media, with the brand woven into the mechanics rather than pasted on as a logo. It converts passive ad impressions into minutes of active engagement.

Why do branded games work better than ads for engagement?

Because play is voluntary attention. An ad interrupts; a game invites. Players spend minutes with the brand instead of seconds, share scores with friends, and willingly leave first-party data (like signups for rewards) — engagement that display advertising cannot buy.

Do branded games need an app download?

No. The games Joistic builds are instant-load web experiences that open from a link in a social post, story, QR code, or WhatsApp message. Removing the install step is what makes campaign-scale play counts possible.

How is AI used in branded games?

AI generates and adapts game content — levels, questions, characters, and copy — which makes games faster to build and easier to keep fresh through a campaign. It also personalises difficulty and content to keep players in the game longer.

What results should a brand expect from a game campaign?

The metrics that matter are plays, average time in game, share rate, and first-party data captured. A well-tuned launch game can reach hundreds of thousands to millions of plays when paired with the right distribution — Joistic builds the game and the measurement so results are provable.
