If you’re a Chick-fil-A fan, now’s the time to fire up the app and join the herd.
The popular fast-food chain has officially brought back its summer favorite—Code Moo—a three-week digital adventure filled with free food rewards, fun missions, and cow-themed surprises.
Whether you're craving waffle fries, a warm cookie, or a box of nuggets, you could score them without spending a dime.
All it takes is a little app-based gameplay and a sense of fun.
And yes, there's even exclusive merchandise involved.
Now in its third year, Code Moo is Chick-fil-A’s way of celebrating its beloved cow mascots—and rewarding fans along the way.
Running from July 15 to August 4, the campaign is a digital scavenger hunt that lives inside the Chick-fil-A app.
It centers around three characters—Daisy, Sarge, and Carrots—who are on a secret mission to infiltrate the fictional Circus Burger Headquarters.
Your role? Help them complete weekly missions by solving puzzles and playing games.
Each completed task earns you a free food item.
It’s part storytelling, part gameplay—and all in good fun.
Joining in is easy, and you don’t need any prior experience—just your phone and a Chick-fil-A account.
Here’s how to participate:
This year’s rewards include:
That’s up to three free items over the course of the campaign—one for each completed mission.
The cows aren’t just hiding in your app—they’re starring in an all-new animated short titled “Udder Chaos.”
This four-minute film follows the mascots’ antics as they sneak into Circus Burger HQ.
It’s a lighthearted, family-friendly watch that brings the campaign’s story to life.
For even more behind-the-scenes fun, fans can tune in to the Cow Tales Podcast—available exclusively in the Chick-fil-A app.
Each episode is under 10 minutes and explores more of the cows’ world in a playful, story-driven format.
Alongside the food rewards and digital missions, Chick-fil-A is offering a special summer Cow Collection of merchandise.
You’ll find both returning fan favorites and new surprises, including:
Quantities are limited, so if something catches your eye, it’s best to act fast—these items often sell out before the campaign ends.
More than just a chance to score free food, Code Moo has become a lighthearted summer tradition.
It blends simple gameplay, storytelling, and a bit of nostalgia—especially for fans who remember the original cow billboard ads.
For families, it’s also an easy way to treat the kids or grandkids to a free snack and a fun digital experience without leaving the house.
