Another fun addition to this year’s game can be found before participants even start to play the game.

New social media elements have also been added whereby players are asked to take a selfie when they land on a specific square to get more points.
To play the game, shoppers can exchange their receipts of Dh300 for a token at the malls customer service desks. Each shopper can play up to four times per day from 12pm – 10pm on weekdays and 12pm – 11:30pm on weekends.
The winning doesn’t end there. Visitors who shop for Dh600 at Mall of the Emirates and Dh500 at City Centre Mirdif have the opportunity to win a grand prize of Dh100,000. Customers who shop from Dh500 to Dh1,500 will receive an Dh100 Mall Gift Card or prizes, while those who shop for Dh1,501 and above will receive an Dh300 Mall Gift Card or prizes.
An interactive smiley booth is set up in the Centre Court with a giant ‘smile-o-metre’ which will fill up as the participant’s smile grows. They must hold that smile for a photo in the booth and redeem their prize, which will include Mall Gift Cards to VOX Cinemas tickets, from the vending machine.
