- Marking a latest Roblox experience, Walmart has introduced Supercampus, a back-to-school-themed game, the retailer announced Wednesday.
- Players aged 13 and up can solve puzzles and play using supplies from Bic, Crayola, 3M and other popular back-to-school brands, the corporate said.
- The retailer designed its environment to follow Roblox’s latest rules for all ages, per the press release.
Walmart’s participation within the Roblox craze has ebbed and flowed this 12 months. In March, the retailer ended its Universe of Play, a branded space it had on the platform for six months. Supercampus is a latest effort within the Roblox space, aimed specifically at back-to-school.
“Walmart has at all times aimed to create engaging experiences for our customers and members; now, we’re continuing to explore tips on how to try this within the virtual worlds where they’re spending more of their time,” the corporate wrote in a blog post. “We’re proud to have created a one-of-a-kind virtual journey where players can showcase their talents and uncover hidden skills, perfectly timed for the back-to-school season.”
Shipt also recently released a back-to-school experience on Roblox, throughout the Driving Empire game, where gamers can act as Shipt shoppers and deliver back-to-school items. Over the past 12 months, more brands and retailers have released Roblox experiences or partnered with the corporate in other ways. Forever21 introduced its F21 Metaverse Collection, a physical fashion collection based on its virtual experience, in December to rejoice its first 12 months on Roblox. Pacsun debuted its “Pacsun Los Angeles Tycoon” experience on Roblox in February.
