- Austin businesses testing game-based promotions
- Worth noticing
- Practice-mode brands are explicitly fictional, and their promo codes do not work anywhere.
Field notes
The page lays out the game loop directly: steer, fire automatically, and beat a wave’s countdown to unlock an offer. A sponsor-preview form collects a business name, four-letter on-screen tag, color, deal, promo code, and optional logo. The visible practice-mode brands are fictional, so their codes are examples rather than usable offers.
