WITH NEW TABLE-TOP ENTERTAINMENT,
DINING IN AT PIZZA HUT® IS ALL FUN AND GAMES
Participating Pizza Hut Restaurants to Showcase Family Games from Patch Products
BELOIT, Wis. – Pizza Hut is playing games with its diners. Starting today, table-top versions of Patch Products’ Buzzword® and Such & Such™ games will be available in more than 3,250 participating dine-in Pizza Hut restaurants nationwide.
The wait-busting promotion is designed to enhance the family dining experience at Pizza Hut, while showcasing Patch’s family-oriented games.
“Pizza Hut is all about families sitting down together to eat and have fun,” said Kristan Miller, Vice President of Advertising and Brand Image at Pizza Hut. “This promotion with Patch is just one more way for us to add value to the dine-in experience by giving families an engaging and entertaining activity to share while they wait for their order.”
“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to sample our games in Pizza Hut’s extensive network of dine-in restaurants because the best advertising for a game is having someone play it,” said Lisa Wuennemann, Director of Marketing at Patch Products. “It’s a great way for us to combine the power of two brands that are all about family fun.”
Also as part of the promotion, Patch will include Pizza Hut coupons in the full board game versions of Buzzword and Such & Such promoting the special offer with on-box messaging that says, “Play Games, Eat Pizza! Pizza Hut Coupons Inside.” Buzzword and Such & Such are available at mass-market and specialty toy retailers across the United States.
The Games We Play
Buzzword is an engaging, shout-it-out game in which one team has 45 seconds to solve 10 clues with answers that all contain the same buzzword. For example, for the buzzword “ball,” clues would be “prisoner’s ankle garb” or “soccer in Europe,” and the answers would be “ball and chain” and “football,” respectively.
Such & Such is a game filled with clever pairings and witty competition. Players read
clues to two-part answers. For example, for the clues “coffee compliments” or “the Three
Musketeers’ motto” the answers would be “cream and sugar” and “one for all and all for one.”
