Here's a clever little social game—involving just Instagram video and your phone's screenshot function—from ad agency Forsman & Bodenfors for a Swedish department store.

The retailer, Åhléns, posted three stop-motion Instagram videos featuring various products (clothes, furniture, makeup and more) flashing past at rapid speed. If you could capture any item in a screenshot on your phone (and then hashtag the image, post it to your Instagram account and present the post at the register), you got the item at half price.
