You may have noticed an increasing number of ‘long photos’ popping up on Facebook.

This style of post (generally created in a program like Photoshop) offers Facebook users an incomplete image and encourages them to click on it to reveal the rest of it. In other words, it’s a photo with a hidden section.

It may seem like a naff way to get users to engage but the outcome is surprisingly fun!

Food delivery app Menulog is a fantastic example of this type of content in celebration of World Sushi Day.

What appears when you click on the image:

Users are encouraged to tap the image to find out “what delicious dish we are celebrating today” and are rewarded with delicious photo of sushi.
