KakaoTalk Mission-Based Emoticons

To use the mission-based emoticon distribution feature, prior consultation with the Kakao Games business PM is required.

What is a Mission-Based Emoticon?

A service that rewards KakaoTalk emoticons to users upon completing in-game missions.
- Emoticons: Emoticons created directly by the advertiser.
This feature can be used not only to attract new and existing users but also for increasing Daily Active Users (DAU), large-scale updates, and promotional activities to boost sales.
Various conditions can be set, such as creating a new character, completing a tutorial, reaching a certain level, or inviting friends.
Emoticons are immediately distributed to users once they complete the defined missions in the game

Mission-based emoticons can only be used by partners who have undergone prior consultation.

Handling Rewards for Users Who Complete Missions Before the Event Starts
- Ex) The game opens at 11:00 AM, and users complete missions, but the emoticon distribution event starts at 2:00 PM.
- To minimize the possibility of customer support inquiries, the following is recommended:
  - Before the event starts, collect information on users who meet the event conditions in the game, and process and distribute rewards collectively once the event begins.
  - Disable the "Receive Emoticon" button in the game client until the event starts
