Last year’s campaign
comprised of a series of Dark Room challenges at selected MYDIN stores
located in five states across Peninsular Malaysia –
Selangor, Penang,
Negeri Sembilan and
Johor. In these challenges, shoppers were required
to shop in the dark for a list of items within a stipulated time limit,
showcasing the power of the Energizer Max batteries which is now 8x
longer lasting. The participants with the highest scores at each
roadshow were then invited to participate in the grand finale of the
Energizer ‘Shop In The Dark’ campaign at MYDIN USJ, Subang Jaya.

entry submissions which include:
1) Onground roadshows (starts on 5 May)

The
Dark Room roadshows introduce a new virtual reality (VR) twist to the

VR machine. Shoppers who are interested to participate through the
roadshows or mail in entry are required to provide a proof of purchase
