Interaction Design Needs Play #persuasivedesign

On March 25, J. Cornelius, VP of Operations for CoffeeCup posted an intriguing message on Twitter: "I'm hiding eggs. You'll see." Three days later, the official CoffeeCup twitter account added this explanation: "We've hidden over $20,000 in cash and software on our Website! Just find an egg and claim what's inside."

J. and his co-workers scattered dozens of eggs inside the pages of CoffeeCup.com. Since they've announced the contest, visitors have been scouring the site, looking for the prizes.

Interesting thoughts on Game play - persuasive design at its best. Looking forward to Stephen Anderson's' IA Summit session!
