To reimagine Singapore in the metaverse, STB worked with established gaming specialist Publicis Play and Roblox developer Wonder Works Studio to develop the immersive experience over five months. Singapore Wanderland puts a playful spin on real-life attractions in three mini-games, where players earn magic orchids to transform a garden with STB’s destination mascot Merli.
The experience is based on popular entertainment formats on Roblox and aims to drive affinity for Singapore by featuring elements inspired by our destination icons. For example, users can express themselves through fun personalization options. They can amass virtual collectibles to customize their avatars, such as a Supertree hat, a Singapore Flyer Backpack and a Lotus race car.
