This isn’t the first time we’ve mentioned Beard Papa’s on the site, but it seems like the saintly looking purveyor of cream puffs might be a secret gamer. That’s because the pastry chain is now teaming up with NEOWIZ’s popular gacha mobile tactical RPG BrownDust 2 to offer Halloween-themed cream puffs which are inspired by the characters Wilhelmina and Zenith.
Starting on October 9th, Beard Papa’s locations in the US will be offering 2 unique flavors. A cinnamon topped eclair with a pumpkin custard will represent Zenith who is dressed as a cat girl for this collaboration. An azure dragon clothed Wilhelmina’s puff is a blue eclair topped with white chocolate oreos and vanilla custard.
Besides the treats, BrownDust 2 fans can take home character goods if they purchase the BrownDust2 6-Pack Combo Gift Set which will include 6 puffs (1 of each of the collaboration puffs, 2 regular puffs and 1 chocolate puff and 1 cookies and cream puff.), sticker sheet, a random can badge and standee of either Zenith or Wilhelmina as well as a card which includes a code for some in-game awards.
If you happen to be to live in or are just in the vicinity of Los Angeles, CA (October 17th) or Katy, Tx (October 24th), the chain will be holding in-person fan events where players can meet and take photos with cosplayers portraying Zenith & Wilhelmina as well as test their luck by spinning a prize wheel to win collaboration merch. If you don’t live in the area or are busy, you can still try to earn a prize pack by entering the BrownDust2 × Beard Papa’s sweepstakes, details of which should be on the collaboration website (However at the time of the writing of this article, the website does not appear to be live…perhaps check on October 9th.).
The BrownDust2 x Beard Papa’s collaboration will kick off on October 9th until November 9th at select Beard Papa’s locations across the US.
BrownDust 2 is available now on PC, Android and iOS.
