Magic Shake

Today, brands are looking for new ways to retain customers and turn loyalty programs into a real emotional experience. Standard loyalty cards no longer attract customers — people need emotions, anticipation, and play. This is what Magic Shake is built on — an innovative gaming loyalty system in the Telegram Mini App format that turns every visit to a brand into a gambling ritual.

Project idea

Magic Shake is not just a loyalty program, it is a full-fledged gamified mechanic, in which physical interaction with the phone becomes a way to get a reward. The basic idea is simple and exciting: the user enters the brand’s Telegram bot, launches the game and shakes the phone - and the magic box on the screen changes, creating the effect of anticipation and random reward. Shake the phone, watch as the prizes hide in the magic box, and wait for the box to open and announce the winner - your prize is already inside

The goal of the project is to form a daily gaming habit of interacting with the brand that increases retention, stimulates repeat visits, and turns loyalty into an emotion.

Basic game mechanics

Magic Shake features a unique shake mechanic that uses the phone's accelerometer to physically interact with the game. It's not just a tap — it's a gesture that immerses the user in the process.

• Shake mechanics - the user shakes the phone, and all possible prizes fly into the magic box located in the center of the screen. The box closes, "shuffles" the prizes inside it during the shaking - and opens, releasing a single random prize. This moment of revelation is the culmination of each session.
• One outcome of many is that the player sees all the prize options go into the box, but only one comes out. This creates an effect of true randomness and unpredictability, heightening anticipation and making each session emotionally charged.
• Limited attempts — 3 shake sessions per day (or other frequency via the admin panel) forms the habit of daily return and reinforces FOMO.
• Prize validity period - the award is valid for a limited time (for example, only the current day), which creates an incentive to immediately come to the establishment or make a purchase.

Telegram as a loyalty platform

Magic Shake works entirely within the Telegram Mini App and does not require installing a separate application. The user's path is as simple as possible: scan the QR code or follow the link → launch the Telegram bot → share your phone number → get access to the game.

Telegram here acts not just as a platform, but as a full-fledged CRM channel: push notifications, referral links, daily reminders, mass mailings — all of this is implemented natively through the Telegram bot.

Administrative panel

The administrative panel gives the brand full control over the mechanics without involving developers: all settings are performed through a convenient interface in real time.

Analytics and dashboard

A centralized dashboard provides key project performance indicators in real time so that the business always understands how the loyalty program is working:

• total number of shake sessions;
• conversion rate;
• number of prizes received;
• list of recent winnings;
• user activity statistics.

Game settings

Flexible control of game logic allows you to adapt the mechanics to the needs of a specific business without the participation of developers:

• choosing a game appearance and preset;
• setting up daily shake attempts;
• bonus attempts for new users as a welcome bonus;
• prize pool management;
• setting the odds of each prize;
• Choosing colors, design, and visual style for mystery boxes.

Prize management

A separate module for creating and administering rewards — the brand independently forms a prize pool of any configuration:

• discounts in percentage or fixed amount;
• gifts and free goods;
• bonus points;
• special offers;
• promo codes.

Referral program and distribution

Setting up the mechanics of attracting new users through recommendations to ensure viral audience growth:

• bonuses for inviting friends;
• additional shake attempts for referrals;
• setting up referral events and promotions;
• rules for calculating remuneration;
• controlling the game's distribution mechanics in Telegram.

Telegram bot settings

Full customization of the bot's appearance and branding without technical knowledge:

• bot name and description;
• avatar;
• message and dialogue texts;
• interface elements and brand style.

News and notifications

A tool for communicating with your audience and launching marketing activities directly through Telegram:

• manual mailings to the entire database or segment;
• automatic notifications based on triggers;
• planned news and promotions;
• reminder of available shake attempts.

Customer management

Complete control over your user base and their activity in one place:

• list of clients and their profiles;
• history of shake sessions for each user;
• winnings history;
• detailed activity statistics;
• the ability to block or delete a user and assign them additional shake attempts manually.

System Logs

System event log for monitoring platform operation, auditing administrator actions, and quickly identifying possible errors.

Prize scanner

A tool for quickly verifying and activating rewards at the point of sale — scanning a winning QR code allows the cashier to instantly confirm a customer's prize.

Who is the mechanic created for?

Magic Shake is designed for a wide range of businesses where repeated interaction with the customer and an emotional connection with the brand are important.

1. Restaurants, cafes and food establishments seeking to increase footfall.
2. Beauty and cosmetics brands that want to turn shopping into a game.
