About BK® Dino’s

Last month, Burger King® South Africa introduced the innovative BK® Dino’s campaign across restaurants nationwide. By simply purchasing a BK® Junior meal and downloading the BK® Dino’s application, users are able to unleash 3D dinosaur animations and experience an extraordinary, prehistoric world. Currently, there are 25 engaging BK® Dino’s cards to be collected along with the application that is

free to download from iOS and Android devices.

Through the app, users are able to unlock their collected dinosaurs and view interactive, 3D animations over their real-world surroundings. Not only can users hear what the dinosaurs would have sounded like, they can further learn how to pronounce their names and educate themselves through the additional information section.

Ezelna Jones, marketing executive at Burger King® South Africa, says, “At Burger King®, we know that kids learn and grow through imagination and seek pleasure in everything they do. With our new kid’s toy, kids can enter a digital dinosaur world at a Burger King® restaurant and experience a live view of the majestic creatures. We’re embracing the need for change and adapting our offering to meet the needs of these inquisitive minds.”
