Rivalling its classic Filet- ‘O-Fish, McDonald’s is introducing a new fish burger, the black pepper cheese double Filet- ‘O-Fish, to its menu alongside a new, gamified campaign called "The Great Catch".

According to McDonald’s Singapore, the campaign includes an immersive activation where fans of the fast-food chain can visit make-believe fishing spots in Singapore to win the new burger. 

Participants can attempt to snag a Filet-O-Fish at a bus stop adshel simply by snapping a picture when the burger pops up on the screen and tagging the brand on Instagram as proof of their catch. Lucky anglers who manage to hook one will be rewarded with a free Black Pepper Cheese Filet-O-Fish burger, subject to the first 50 hauls in a day over the five-day activation.

"Gamifying the act of catching a Filet-O-Fish in locations where Singaporeans are already waiting is an entertaining way for McDonald’s fans to discover the new Filet-O-Fish flavour. As with real-life fishing, the patience and effort that goes into reeling in this ‘great catch’ is rewarded," said Sharim Gubbels, executive creative director at Leo Burnett Singapore.
