One of the most iconic monsters in the fantasy tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons is the mimic, a creature that looks like a treasure chest to lure (and ultimately attack) approaching adventurers hoping to loot the goodies inside. Now you can find it on limited-edition packaging for Ferrara Candy Company’s Nerds gummy clusters and theater boxes that will provide fans of the candy a taste of adventure.
Shoppers who upload a receipt from one of the special packages at the partnership’s dedicated website through December will receive access to part of an exclusive “Restoring Harmony” D&D campaign. The first six receipts each unlock a character sheet for a playable character and an introductory first-level adventure for one player and a Dungeon Master.
Uploading seven receipts rewards participants with a final third-level adventure for up to six players and the Dungeon Master, which should average a running time of about two hours. The website links to videos and articles that provide an introduction to how to play the game.
Bonus action
Those who upload receipts are also automatically entered in a sweepstakes running from Sept. 1 through March 31, 2022 for a chance to be one of five winners to play with one of the game’s designers and receive a game pack including key D&D books. 100 runners-up will receive the game pack only.
Nerds is promoting the sweeps and packaging with posts on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Dungeons & Dragons has also shared numerous videos highlighting the various Nerds characters on its YouTube channel.
