Netflix and Spotify have teamed up to launch a golf-inspired game as a way to promote \u201cHappy Gilmore 2,\u201d the sequel to Adam Sandler\u2019s 1996 comedy film, which premieres on Netflix this Friday, July 25.<\/p>\n

This partnership represents a new venture for Spotify, as the music platform has never teamed up with another company to create a gaming experience within its app before.<\/p>\n

Gaming is an area Spotify has largely overlooked, so working with the streaming giant is notable, even if only for a promotional campaign as it could serve as a test to see if consumers resonated with the experience. Since the game is tied to a beloved cult classic, it also presents a unique opportunity to boost engagement.<\/p>\n

Spotify says it developed the game in partnership with MiK Studio.<\/p>\n

The new mini-game, titled Happy Gilmore 2 Tournament, is available exclusively within the Spotify app. To play, users must perfect their golf swing by tapping on their device as they aim to complete all three holes.<\/p>\n

The game also offers a unique audio-visual experience, featuring audio clips from the movie when users complete each round, along with a personalized playlist of \u201chappy\u201d tracks curated specifically for the user. Players can also discover Easter eggs, such as Happy\u2019s boots, his signature hockey stick, and an alligator.<\/p>\n

At the end of the experience, users can watch the official \u201cHappy Gilmore 2\u201d trailer and share their personalized playlist and final score on social media. <\/p>\n

While this is the first time Spotify has worked with another company to develop a gaming experience, it\u2019s worth noting that Spotify previously launched<\/a> a hidden game on its platform as more of an Easter Egg. That game, released in 2023, was called \u2018Eat This Playlist\u2019 and was a variation of the classic Snake arcade game where players control a growing snake and avoid obstacles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix and Spotify have teamed up to launch a golf-inspired game as a way to promote \u201cHappy Gilmore…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":89230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[9470,393,1430,4659,62,24929,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-89229","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-apps","9":"tag-gaming","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-netflix","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-spotify","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114909496240278262","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
