Burger King is appealing directly to the stomachs of gamers with a Call of Duty-themed Whopper Meal as part of an immersive in-restaurant experience at selected restaurants.

Hype is building to a fever pitch around the popular gaming franchise ahead of the hotly-anticipated release of Modern Warfare II, the latest installment of Activision’s first-person shooter.

The ad touting the announcement showed a Burger King restaurant in the style of the video game. The tie-up will offer fans a crossover experience in which they can redeem codes for in-game rewards such as burger-themed skin and additional experience points. Fans will also be invited to demonstrate their gunplay during a special mission set within a Burger King restaurant, or wander a Modern Warfare II-themed restaurant in the dark with night vision goggles to track down hidden QR codes.

Andre Toledo, chief creative officer at David New York, said: “Working on a project for two brands as bold as Burger King and Call of Duty is a dream. Through this collaboration, we worked together to bring to life a campaign that unifies both worlds in a fun and intriguing way. We made it even more interesting by hiding some Easter eggs for the Call of Duty fans to have a bit of fun.”

Themed restaurants will also be decked out across the Middle East, South America and Europe, complete with minimaps and scenes from the game.

Ahead of the Friday launch of the game, Activision erected a giant 3D billboard at Piccadilly Circus in London to put gamers in the picture.
