Scan with the Happy Meal app

GAMES & EXPERIENCES
With every new Happy Meal, we use a selection of our games and experiences listed below to bring kids' favorite characters to life.
Digital Masks
Our all-new magical mask experience allows you to transform yourself into visiting characters or play with masks inspired by fruits and veggies.
Be an Inventor
Kids are encouraged to make experiments and watch their inventions go off with a surprise. By assembling the parts and testing the results, kids put their logic and problem-solving skills to work in a fun and exciting way.
Be an Artist
Kids join their favorite Happy Meal characters as they learn techniques to help get them thinking like real artists. Drawing and painting with different tools and materials helps them express their creativity.
Be a Musician
Match the musical patterns to learn brand-new sounds and rhythms along the way. It’s fun to dance to the beat, but it’s even more fun when kids get to compose songs.
Be a Hero
This is a fun new game that encourages the whole family to play together. By completing mini-challenges, you get to move, turn, and twist the device to direct and guide the game play.
I wish for animating back!!! :c
This game is amazing and all but they updated it and they had to remove the animating which my favorite part 🥺. You could put ur face and make movies with names like poopie mayonays and the title could be silly. There was a movie u could create that was the space one that u could find on the tv on the moon. I would beg them for the movies back since I’m a fan of this game. If they wouldn’t bring movies back I would say”if you don’t bring back movies then I will not be a fan anymore!!!” Then they would add it in no time. From Lillian sowers
YAY!
Great game! I love this app U should play it it’s fun and all and I know all the instructions to how to playing the games inside and do U know how I do it? ITS SIMPLE! THE COVER OF THE GAME AND THE THING IT TELLS U MAKES IT SOOO SIMPLE AND EASY TO PLAY SO GET THIS APP TODAY, NICE AND FREE!!! U have to press the yes button for scan and if u press the no button and u complain about that u can’t use the scanner and that’s almost all the thing u need to know is settings don’t work on that. I’m a kid and I know all that stuff and grownups don’t know a thing!
Pretty good game!!!
I like this game because even when you don’t have a McDonald’s toy or food there is still something to do my brother always tries to steal my phone because he wants to play the Mcplay app!But I got to tell you some of the games are challenging right now the toy is Star Wars and it actually is challenging me!And then there is the easy games last time it was frozen 2 which didn’t even have games really!but then I ❤️ the face changer they are so fun when you have friends over!!So overall I think you should get this game.👍
Fun!
This is a great app that adds a lot of variety to the possibilities for toys that come with happy meals. The most recent one, is a tracing and art kit from American greeting cards and we love it around here. The app is easy to use and does a great job merging digital interactions, which all kids need to be used to these days, with real world physical objects, which is also a very good thing.
AR needs a lot of improvement
My kids love for me to scan their happy meal smiles in the app to see the surprise. But, it is very frustrating. First, even in good light and a clean flat surface the camera doesn’t seem to be able to register flat. I have only been able to get it to work on the tile in my kitchen. Second, more often then not the resulting animation that incorporates the box is much smaller than the actual box and even moving closer is small for the kids to see. Third, load time is horrible. I have 3 kids who all want me to scan their individual boxes. After scanning one, I can’t just say scan again, even though the prompt says to. It has to leave the AR game load the main app, then I have to tap on the game again, and it has too load, then I have to scan the flat surface again (see above). All in all it takes a good 10+ minutes for a quick 15second clip each and a lot of frustration on this parents part.
Its more for kids under the age of 6
I recently got a small stuffed animal frog from a happy meal my step dad wanted something small to eat so he got a happy meal the stuffed animal was good but the app is more of a kids thing I was only curious about the app and I am 23 years old it said you can scan toys from McDonald’s so I did and all it was is a level or small add on as you call it it even gave me something that was The complete opposite of what the toy was it gave me a dolphin level instead of a frog level which would’ve made more sense that is all i have to say about this app
Kinda lame
Kay, so I’m not really too young which is what this app is made for the young small very very small people as in little kids but I like it for the art app bit of it. The thing I’m upset about for this app, is that it doesn’t have a scan my toy bag I like so much because I get free stuff for pointing it at random things like my lamp or a backpack or a pillow I don’t get toys constantly and I don’t have little scan bars that you’re looking for so I can’t get free stuff. What happened to you trusting the innocence of little kids?! Young impressionable kids who would be honest with the scanning bars even if you can just pointed out random stuff and get stuff for it. I mean come on we’re kids it’s not like you can just are in profit just because somebody scanned a little scan barcode it’s pointless it’s dumb why did you get rid of it?!?!?! And not to mention that you got rid of the movie setting, I mean seriously that was my favorite part of the game A few years ago me and my best friend used to make movies with silly names and stuffed animals and it was so much fun and I saved it to my iPad. But you took away all the fun and interesting stuff in the app so, you’re probably gonna lose people who are playing it just saying, so in conclusion: BRING THE FUN STUFF BACK!
Okay I guess ,but not my favorite
So , this is a review ,... coming from a kid. My brother likes this game a lot but I mean when I try something like a game on the app, it never gives me good instructions. Like when so was playing the ball in the bucket game for my little pony (By the way I don’t like that show anymore) it made me restart so many times because I didn’t know what to do and I would die . Like SERIOUSLY?!? Please fix the other bugs as well , like when your playing and you do it right but then it counts it worth and it makes you restart , or the other one , well it’s not really a big but it’s the fact that after a while some of the themes go away ... and you put in new ones that don’t really make sense. Anyways thanks for paying attention to me , Have a great day everyone !!! 😁
So disappointing 😑😑😑
So basically, this app is boring and just a huge waste of time. So back in 2014 and before, this app was really good for kids and had a lot of things to do, when you scan a different toy or item, it will each time give out a unique game to play, and it even comes with books for kids to read and learn, including some hidden features and other activities for the kids. I took my two-year-old niece out to eat at McDonald's and she got a Happy Meal, while she was eating I was looking at the box and it mentioned scanning the toy to play a game on the app, and it brought back the memories of me playing that game as a kid, so I decided to download it for my niece to try out. When I installed the app, truth be told it wasn't as exciting as the app I remembered, I gave my phone to my niece and after five minutes of just looking around, she was not at all entertained, especially after scanning her toy, I've noticed that almost everything has changed and most features we're locked. I would give this app a zero if I could. Don't recommend at all!!!!!
Where is the “scan my toy” and all the games from previously scanned toys?
The “scan my toy” option is missing with the latest update to the app. There is too much useless interactive (and advertising) icons that have been added to the app. It’s not as kid-friendly especially as my son loves the app for the “scan a toy” games. Also, where are all of the games from previously scanned toys? My son loves the McPlay App and scanning his Happy Meal toys. The app used to allow users to swipe left/right between downloaded games of all previously scanned toys. Have all of the games been deleted? If so, why the change? I find it a waste of time to download the app and scan toys if the downloaded games aren’t stored for users to enjoy for the duration of app download. Updates should not delete collected games. This latest update is horrible! I would like to see the McPlay App return to its previous form of more (scan toy to download) games and less boring activities (i.e. McDonald’s version of Playskool’s Mr. Potato Head)!
Worst game ever😾
I read this on the happy meal box I decided hey why don’t I check this out I scanned my cutie car worst game ever they should make it a little bit less complicated but so far the play is just the worst game in the world but of course since I was a child I thought it would be nice and fun when I looked at the app I thought yeah I’ll try it out but now it’s just the worst game of my life even some other very Credi games are way better than McPlay™ anyways make play need some serious improvements my mom can’t even help me solve a closet so dumb and by the way I hope you noticed today giving you one star worst game ever I hate it to pieces I have like 1000 cutie cars and I was going to scan them all but now I realize it’s no fun to ski and then boring some of the other cutie cars that are really bad are we better than your Credi game
Incredi-NOT
As many others have mentioned, there is no longer a scan option for the toys that advertise games if scanned. I purchased an Incredibles toy today and on the box it advertises the app and all the items that can be scanned for games. First, the items (apples, Go-Gurt and milk) advertised at the menu board and happy meal box with scanners were not labeled as such. They were all regular with no scanners or Incredibles characters as advertised. The toy also is unable to be scanned (even though the happy meal website says it can be done). Lastly, the app states the new update includes the Incredibles games and although we are updated there are no Incredibles games at all. Disappointing-false advertising all the way around-I'm sure Disney wouldn't be happy with such a flop with their movie attached to your product.
Really Laggy and Really Disappointing!
I got a happy meal recently because I wasn’t that hungry and on the little toy I noticed the little scan your toy thing. I hadn’t done it in FOREVER and I wanted to relive some memories so I downloaded the app. What I found was VERY disappointing. Everything had changed, there was NO scan your toy thing and everything revolved around a creepy animated happy meal box. Granted I noticed the toy I received was from 2018 but you used to be able to scan them nonetheless. Anyway, ever since the creepy box thing appeared, the McPlay App now changed to Happy Meal App has turned into basically and advertisement. Also you can’t even do anything because it freezes every five seconds!
Ok?
So I scanned a book just to see if it would work and I thought that it would read the book to you just because you know little kids are the ones using this app but instead of just told me that I unlock a new instrument. This app is fun I guess but it just doesn’t work what do ever. Another thing is that I got a McDonald’s you that my sister got from McDonald’s and I scanned it throbbing that you know we could play with on the game but nope still the same thing I unlocked an instrument. For I rate the app 1 star. It would be amazing if you guys could actually fix the app because my sister loves to read and I thought that it would read to you. I expect an upgrade!😡
