Instacart Transforms Grocery Shopping with Smart Cart Gamification

Instacart's new Caper Carts feature gamified shopping experiences, personalized ads, and seamless navigation to enhance in-store grocery trips.

  • Instacart's Caper Carts now include interactive mini-games called 'Quests,' offering rewards and savings to make shopping more engaging.
  • The smart carts feature a live store map to help shoppers locate products, on-sale items, and complete 'treasure hunts' for additional discounts.
  • New ad formats on Caper Carts allow brands to deliver personalized offers based on a shopper's location and purchase history.
  • Instacart has tripled its Caper Cart presence in the past six months, with expansion in stores like Kroger, ShopRite, and Aldi in Austria.
  • While the carts offer a unique shopping experience, their widespread adoption remains limited as Instacart continues to refine the technology.
