OREO partners with upcoming A MINECRAFT MOVIE for fun and prizes

OREO is launching a one-of-a-kind partnership with the hotly anticipated A MINECRAFT MOVIE, in cinemas April 4.

The cookie brand has come together with the movie, set in a world where creativity is essential to one’s survival, to encourage fans to taste, play, win – serving up OREO’s most playful snacking experience to date, with money-can’t-buy prizes on offer.

Four Special Edition cookies have been released as part of the partnership, which includes a very special feature that allows cookie faithful and moviegoers to enter a world of play.

The cookies are embossed with symbols inspired by A MINECRAFT MOVIE – the iconic Pickaxe, Crystal, Sword and Creeper – all sure to excite Minecraft fans and entice OREO lovers to experience both the cookies and the film.

In OREO’s most playful gaming mechanic on pack yet, fans bite the cookie into a square and then scan the custom embossments to access a themed AR online experience, where players hunt for hidden elements from A MINECRAFT MOVIE.

The Special Edition cookies also offer fans the chance to win exclusive OREO x A MINECRAFT MOVIE prizes.

“At OREO, our mission is to bring more playfulness into the world, and our latest partnership with A MINECRAFT MOVIE is set to be our most playful collaboration yet – by paying homage to the beloved blocks of Minecraft with our iconic round cookie,” said Perrine Pierrard-Willaey, Marketing Director Europe at OREO. “We’ve seen some amazing partnerships in the past from Xbox to Batman so we hope this partnership excites fans just as much, and we can’t wait to see them taste, play and win!”

Julie Moore, Senior Vice President of Global Brand Partnerships at Warner Bros. Pictures said: “A MINECRAFT MOVIE, just like the hugely popular game that inspired it, is all about empowerment through creativity, and no cookie has inspired more creative ways to consume it than OREO. The fact that the classic circle-shape is embracing the renowned Minecraft block makes our partnership one for the ages.”
