The Pokémon “What’s Your Favorite?” (WYF) booth is an interactive fan experience where guests discover and celebrate their favourite Pokémon.
While queueing, guests complete a short digital quiz on tablets which reveals their favorite Pokémon before they enter the booth. Inside the experience, guests explore a series of themed activity zones featuring interactive moments, photo opportunities, and playful physical interactions inspired by the Pokémon world.
At the sticker wall, guests select their favorite Pokémon using illuminated buttons which trigger the printing of a matching sticker. They then place their sticker onto the wall, gradually building a large collaborative display made up of thousands of fan choices throughout the event.
The experience is designed to be fast paced, highly visual, and easy for large convention audiences to engage with.
