Each tote also included a coveted stamp rally card, unlocking a series of activities to complete in exchange for a final prize.

Immersive Fan Activations

Fans were spoiled for choice with activities designed to channel their inner superstar and connect with TinyTAN magic:

  • Meet TinyTAN: Struck poses with the OT7 TinyTAN cutouts.
  • Merch Pit: Flex their claw machine skills to score McDonald’s-exclusive merch, from keychains and pouches to drink bottles and holders.
  • Mirror Photo Booth: Strike a pose with high-tech booths that capture ARMY star power.
  • McDonald’s Disco Room: Show off dance moves under the lights of a mini disco floor.
  • DIY Magic Lab: Customize a TinyTAN toy pouch into a one-of-a-kind beaded keychain.
  • Happy Meal Sticker Mural: Sticker bomb and snap photos with a giant Happy Meal box.

A Feast for Fans

With all the hustle and bustle, McDonald’s ensured that no attendee went hungry. Staff roamed the venue serving up fresh McNuggets and crispy fries, paired with classic sauces like Tangy BBQ and Sweet & Sour. Attendees also enjoyed two complimentary themed mocktails:

  • Blueberry Dream: A sweet blend of blueberry syrup, mint, and lime.
  • Golden Hour Groove: A refreshing concoction of mango green tea, raspberries, lemon, and simple syrup.  

Attendees appreciated the level of detail and care placed into creating a pop-up experience that prioritized genuine experiences over transactional moments. “It was the best themed pop-up experience I’ve ever done!” shared Ami, a devoted SoCal ARMY who ran into several friends at the event. “The vibes were perfectly tailored for ARMY and happy meal lovers. The decor was on point! I really appreciated the happy meals and mocktails. The organizers did a 10/10 for this event!”

With activations that allowed fans and all their five senses to immerse themselves in the TinyTAN universe, McDonald’s TinyTAN Happy Meal Magic Meet Up was an ultimate celebration of BTS and ARMY – leaving everyone with memories, prizes, photos, and a deeper bond with the TinyTAN characters. Until BTS’s highly anticipated return, the TinyTAN magic will stay dynamite in ARMY’s hearts.
