Turning a digital milestone into a larger-than-life, real-world moment that invites interaction, sharing, and celebration.


Background



To celebrate Chicago ranking #1 in the U.S. for candies collected, levels completed, and pins earned in Candy Crush, the brand set out to bring a digital achievement into the physical world. The goal was to create a highly visible, shareable moment that would capture the playful spirit of the game while engaging people in a real-world environment.

We partnered with City Eventions to fabricate a bold, larger-than-life installation that could stop foot traffic, spark curiosity, and invite interaction. The concept centered on translating the vibrant, candy-filled universe of the game into a tangible experience that felt immersive, fun, and unmistakably Candy Crush.




The Ask



We were tasked with bringing the Candy Crush world to life through a single, iconic centerpiece that would instantly capture attention and encourage engagement. The installation needed to be visually striking from a distance, photogenic up close, and durable enough to perform in a public, high-traffic environment.

Equally important was maintaining brand authenticity, ensuring that every detail, from color and form to finish and scale, reflected the recognizable look and feel of the game while translating seamlessly into a physical build.

The Work




We custom fabricated an oversized, 8-foot-tall candy jar designed to serve as the focal point of the activation. Built with a clear outer shell and a vibrant vinyl backer, the structure showcased a collection of oversized candy elements arranged to create depth, color, and visual impact from every angle.

Each candy piece was individually crafted from wood, cut into signature Candy Crush shapes, and finished with bold, high-gloss paint in brand-specific colors and patterns. The elements were securely mounted within the structure to maintain both visual composition and structural integrity in a public setting.

Topped with a removable, custom-fabricated gold lid, the installation balanced playful design with practical engineering. Positioned as both a photo opportunity and a visual landmark, the candy jar drew crowds, encouraged social sharing, and transformed a virtual accomplishment into a memorable, real-world celebration.
