// Customer

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is Switzerland’s national airline and stands worldwide for the highest quality, precision, and excellent service. As an official sponsor of the 2026 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, the airline leverages its reach to combine the emotions of sport with authentic brand experiences.

// Assignment

Translating Swiss premium DNA into an engaging digital gamification experience for ice hockey fans.

Our task was to develop the “world’s largest scratch card” as a high-impact, interactive campaign for the home tournament. In doing so, we had to uphold SWISS’s uncompromising standards of quality while simultaneously engaging the fan community through a playful, highly emotional approach.

// Implementation

A high-performance digital "ice-scratching" experience that combines brand loyalty, gaming fun, and extreme load stability on the smartphone.

We designed an interactive web application featuring fluid animations that seamlessly integrates the tactile experience of a scratch card—with pixel-perfect precision—into SWISS’s corporate identity. In the background, a highly scalable backend architecture ensured the platform ran flawlessly, even during extreme traffic spikes.

Strategic gamification mechanics
We developed a compelling game concept that translates the analog thrill of a real scratch card into a purely digital sports event.
Premium CI-Adaption
The sophisticated SWISS design has been precisely translated to the interactive user interface without sacrificing elegance or clarity.
High-end micro-animations
Fluid visual effects simulated the tactile sensation of scratching against ice, making the brand's quality leadership palpable on the display.
Mobile-First User Experience
The entire application has been radically optimized for smartphones to engage fans directly—whether they are in the stadium or on the go—in an accessible way.
High-traffic cloud architecture
An extremely scalable server setup guaranteed absolute stability, even during extreme load spikes of up to ten registrations per second.
Secure Lead Management
We integrated a GDPR-compliant, highly efficient registration process for the secure, real-time processing of hundreds of thousands of data records.
Stringent user guidance
The user journey was systematically streamlined from the first click to the final prize announcement in order to maximize interaction and conversion rates.
