Doodles Get 2.4× the Response of Plain Promo Popups
A plain promo popup asks players to read and decide, and most close it. A doodle turns the same offer into the prize of a short game: players play, win and claim it. At Smartico brands that use both, doodles got a median 2.4× the response of plain promo popups in the same months. Pick one of more than 40 ready games and show it from any journey.
Your Offer, Played and Won
A real Vibe Studio session: the ready doodle Catch the treats turns a 50 free spins offer into Pearl Dive. Players catch ten pearls, win the offer and claim it.
- The offer is the prize: free spins, a bonus or points become the goal of a short game, not a banner to close.
- One message, your look: Vibe Studio draws the hero, the items and the world, and restyles every screen.
- Back into your campaign: the claim is a click your journey reacts to, so the campaign gives the prize.
- Save it for the team: reuse it for daily rewards, comebacks and big match nights.

A Small Game That Ends on a Prize
A doodle is a popup with a short game inside: spin a wheel, scratch a ticket, pick a chest, find the stars and many more. The game always ends on the prize, so every player who finishes wins. The prize itself comes from your journey, not from the game.
- How it works: when the player wins and taps the prize button, the popup sends the win link
dp:doodle_win. That click is a branch in the journey, where you give points, a bonus or anything else. - A quick, playful reason to come back: use doodles for daily rewards, reactivation or big event days.
- For real odds, prize pools and limits, use Smartico mini-games with a custom game design instead.
