Noticed this when using the 2degrees Data Clock app for my daily free hour of data.

There is a new section which talks about free data every day. Clicking the link in the app takes you to https://datapinata.nz, where you confirm your 2degrees mobile number.

This loads what seems to be an augmented reality webpage (asked for camera permission), where you have to move the camera around and whack a piñata. I couldn't see a piñata, but whacked at empty space all the same, and when I went back to the Data Clock app, there was a free 30 minutes of data added which expires in 48 hours.

Loading the site with a desktop browser asks you to view it on a mobile device.

Ts&Cs from here:

Data Pinata offer:
Available until 22.01.23 with an active 2degrees plan. Packs last 48 hours from win. Fair Use Policy applies.
One winning pack per day, per person. Max speeds reduce to 1mbps after 40GB/m, per person. Redeemed via Data Clock app, see app for details. 2degrees may cancel or amend this offer at any time. Plan and Data Clock T&Cs apply.

  I gave up trying to hit it - nothing happened, just like most real pinatas!

  Despite scoring exactly zero, I got 45 mins which expires in just under two days.

    So, a swing and a miss for you?

      Not just one - I tried loads of times, but missed every single one (or, if I hit it, nothing happened)!

      Meh.

  You may be able to redeem on a desktop browser. If you load the site and enable developer console (F12 for most browsers), you can simulate a mobile view. This seems to let you at least enter your mobile number. Not sure if the augmented reality will work from a desktop (even with a webcam), I have to wait for tomorrow to try again.

    Can confirm you can complete the process on a desktop, no camera required. You still need a 2degrees number and the Data Clock App to redeem the time you win though.

    On a new tab, F12 to open console, and press Ctrl+Shift+M to allow you to change the size of the screen. Most browsers have a section up the top saying Dimensions:Responsive, where you can select a mobile screen size to simulate.
    Open the datapinata link.
    Follow the steps to enter and verify your mobile number.
    It'll say something like "No camera, no whacking. Sorry, I'm fussy. You may still get a pity prize though."
    Click next and it'll say how much you've got. Check your Data Clock app on your mobile and it'll show there.

    I got 1 hour, no idea if it gives you worse prizes for not doing it properly.

    After I whacked the pinata, tons of lollies filled my screen. It was glorious.

  I've been whacking away for weeks, and finally managed to get a reaction - it was glorious :-)

    Dunno about you, but I always use the mallet as the pan and ukulele are not as effective, or could be something phone related

      Hasn't seemed to make any difference which one I used.
