Evil Genius Designs makes history again today with the national launch of the world’s first mobile video game that harnesses real-time payments data using the battery-powered Dynamics ePlate™ credit card device. The innovative offering lets consumers earn in-game items for Black Friday™: The Game with every purchase.
When the Black Friday™: The Game experience™ is selected, a consumer will earn game currency, power-ups and exclusive items anywhere they use their Dynamics ePlate™ credit card device. The items are delivered to the game on their mobile phone the second the purchase is completed.

"Evil Genius prides itself on being a game innovator so we are excited to release the very first payments enhanced game to the world," said Tracy Kobeda Brown, Evil Genius Designs CEO & Founder. "The ability to have everyday purchases impact games with the ePlate™ platform revolutionizes the gaming experience."
"For the first time, a gamer can interact with a video game just by making a purchase," said Jeff Mullen, CEO of Dynamics. “With Black Friday™: The Game, a purchase isn’t just a movie ticket or a gallon of gas. A purchase is now an extra life, a power-up, or an exclusive avatar."
The ePlate™ credit card device is subject to a credit approval.
How It Works
ePlate™ is connected to an ecosystem of experience™ providers that each deliver an individualized brand experience, through an experience™ application, to the consumer. Prior to a purchase, consumers select multiple experience™ applications on their smart phone, tablet, or computer to port to their ePlate™ device. At the time of purchase, the consumer can use different buttons on their ePlate™ device to select different experience™ applications. To learn more about the ePlate™ device, watch the video at www.dynamicsinc.com.
