A 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:

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.
