Small Car, Big Fun:
The MINI CAR-nival Experience
MINI has been an iconic car brand since 1959 with its signature small cars, but with changing dynamics and new competitors within the auto industry, MINI had lost some of its presence. They aimed to appeal to millennial urban professionals who crave excitement and new experiences and want to find ways to get out of the city. The Small Car, Big Fun campaign showcases that even MINI's signature smallness can create the big excitement. In various cities, pop up MINI Car-nivals would feature games and prizes to build excitement for the brand. Visitors could also check out MINI models for themselves.

MINI Roll-A-Ball Racing
Participants get rolling with this traditional carnival racing game reimagined for Mini USA. As players roll balls into one of three speed holes, their Mini edges forward through an adventurous landscape, inching towards the finish line, a cliffside vista. The winner takes all and, by that, we mean their choice of one of our Mini Big Fun prizes.
MINI Mini Golf
What’s more MINI than mini golf! Visitors could swing on by and visit the MINI golf course to drive their ball around the curves of our city-themed course. They could just check in and pick up gear at our Mini Clubman golf station. People could keep an eye out on Fever, DoNYC, TimeOut and more to reserve an exclusive tee time to get rolling. Each player gets their very own prize.
MINI Slot Car Grand Prix
Competitors zoom to the finish line on a super-exciting vintage slot car race track. Each player controls their own Mini replica slot car on the MINI grand prix track, navigating the twists and turns to take home first place and their choice of prize.
Additional Car-nival Fun
To add to the fun, for larger activations, additional interactions could include MINI Go Karts, bumper cars and more,
