The activation is brimming with exciting mini-challenges designed to test shoppers' knowledge and skills. For every P2000 worth of single or accumulated receipts, shoppers can participate in Funko Twist, a claw-machine activity offering the chance to win exclusive Funko Pops. Moreover, collectors can showcase their expertise by naming as many Funko Pops as possible in one minute. The challenge is to rise to the top of the leaderboards and claim exciting prizes.
