Welcome to React & Win, the app that puts you at the center of the biggest game in the world: The trillion-dollar Advertising game. With the React & Win app, when you spot a React Prize Pod or solo React RXP on TV, streaming, or social media, simply scan the QR code, or enter the React code, into the React & Win app, to enter a mini game show. As with React's first game show app, Super Squares®, registered "Reacters" are asked 2-5 quiz questions about the brands featured in the ads that sponsor the prizes up for grabs (and programs and content you’re watching). The key to becoming eligible to win is to 1) Pay attention to the commercials, and then 2) Answer the questions correctly in the time allotted. You become eligible for every prize offered by the brands whose questions you answer. At the end of the contest period, if your entry is chosen at random from all players competing for a prize, you’ll need to have answered ALL questions correctly, for a grade of 100%, and collected at least the minimum score, to win that prize. A remarkable treasure trove of cash and sponsor prizes are up for grabs, often worth tens of thousands of dollars each week. Often, RXP Prize pods award more prizes to more winners than the most popular game shows on TV. And while every daily, weekly, or monthly RXP contest has its own official rules, the game shows are always free; all YOU pay… is attention! 4 HINTS TO REACT & WIN: Inside the React & Win app, you’ll see the “Watch” tab, listing current and upcoming RXP-powered game shows. Tune in to Watch, React and Win, and don’t forget these helpful hints: 1) Be sure to scan using the React & Win app. While your phone’s camera or QR code scanning apps will “read” the special React QR codes, only the React & Win app scanner will instantly place you into the game show. 2) When watching Sponsors’ ads, RELAX! Don’t get stressed out about the quizzes – you’ll be asked questions about important features pf the products and services, not some insignificant detail inside the ad. Product details, features, logos and quippy tag lines are what you’ll want to remember. 3) Take your time before answering. You can’t change your answer once you tap a choice, and some questions include “None of These” or “All of These,” so be sure to read ALL choices before selecting an answer. You don’t have to be a speed reader to score enough points to win, but you DO need to be correct. 4) Your feedback is valuable - and adds to your score. When you’re asked to rate a commercial, REACT for points. If you’re asked a survey question or if you’d like a sample or coupon, REACT for points. Whether you give an ad 1 star or 5 stars, or say “Yes” or “No” to an offer or survey, you’re rewarded with valuable game show points when you REACT. Just be honest – your opinions are cherished. BE A BUDDY – INVITE FRIENDS. How would you like teams of friends playing with you? You can by using the “Invite a Friend” feature to recruit new players to register (sorry, already registered Reacters aren’t eligible). When your friends first register, if they enter your Screen Name when asked “Who’s Your Buddy?” they become your Friend, and you become their Buddy. During special “Matching Buddy Prize” contests, when one or more of your Friends win, YOU as their Buddy can win, too! It’s React’s way of thanking you for sharing your enthusiasm with your friends and family. And once you become a Buddy, you’re eligible for Matching Buddy Prizes when your Friends win, for all game shows powered by React, including Super Squares and new games to follow. Note: EVERY GAME SHOW AND CONTEST IS DIFFERENT. SEE OFFICIAL RULES FOR DETAILS ON HOW TO WIN, PRIZES, MATCHING BUDDY PRIZES AND MORE.
