Turning a brand house into a collectible journey

For its House of Walker activation with VaynerX in New Orleans, Johnnie Walker wanted guests to move through the entire space, not just gather at the bar.

POAP Studio built the participation layer: a collectible passport that tracked 379 players across nine collectible moments, with 75 completing the six-stop venue path and 22 finishing the full journey.

Getting guests to explore, not just gather

Brand houses concentrate energy at the bar. Johnnie Walker needed a reason for guests to visit every booth and engage with the full story, without breaking the premium feel of the experience.
