The box is available with purchase of any medium pizza, including a one-topping medium pizza off the Pizza Hut $5 Flavor Menu.

"We know our fans enjoy a little competition and we're happy to provide a platform that lets them get in on the game in a whole new way while watching their favorite team," said David Timm, chief marketing officer, Pizza Hut. "The box brings some excitement back to the classic Flick Football game, and we are proud to bring some entertainment to the table along with our $5 Flavor Menu."

The game of Flick Football, also known as Paper Football, Finger Football, Chinese Football or Tabletop Football, has historically been played for fun. While that is the primary case in the Pizza Hut version, there also is something in it for those who are always up for a challenge.  

Introducing the Pizza Hut "Flick Football Challenge," a game that invites fans to share videos of their flick football abilities for a chance to win free pizza from the $5 Flavor Menu. Fans enter by posting videos of their Flick Football talents on Twitter, tagging @PizzaHut and using the hashtag #PizzaHutHut. Pizza Hut will select weekly winners based upon different challenges including longest flick, most consecutive made flicks, most creative flick, among others.
