Ahead of the highly anticipated release of Supergirl on June 26, DC Studios has partnered once again with Spotify to roll out a new in-app scavenger hunt experience alongside curated character playlists. The campaign blends music, storytelling, and interactive discovery to deepen fan engagement ahead of the film’s debut.

A Spotify Scavenger Hunt Featuring Krypto

Spotify Scavenger Hunt Featuring Krypto

The centerpiece of the experience is a platform-wide scavenger hunt that sends fans searching for Krypto across Spotify.The character appears across select DCU-related pages within the app, with each appearance revealing fragments of a hidden code in the form of letters displayed in thought bubbles.

Fans receive in-app clues guiding them to specific destinations, including:

  • Supergirl’s official tracks
  • Superman’s official tracks
  • Supergirl’s theme song
  • Superman’s theme song

Once all letters are collected, users can assemble a final code and enter it in Spotify Search to unlock an exclusive clip from the film.
