Mobile marketing through Twitter and Facebook is generally effective. Unfortunately they want to milk you to death with Ad costs so they have a policy against sweepstakes, coupons and giveaways. Quizzes are not really effective unless they generate some type of controversy. What do you mean by games in specific?

Like making user play some game on their mobile phone and giving them some discounts based on the win. The overall game experience could be designed keeping in mind the branding and philosophy of the business involved.
