McDonald’s Singapore has ventured into the metaverse with its new digital environment, “My Happy Place.” This initiative, developed in collaboration with Bandwagon Labs, is accessible through the official McDonald’s app. It offers a unique blend of virtual and real-world experiences, with special benefits for the 2023 Grimace NFTs holders.
“My Happy Place” provides users with a range of interactive activities. They can play games like Build-A-Burger, participate in daily contests through the Wheel of Deals feature, and even envision future McDonald’s restaurant designs.
Users can also dress their avatars in McDonald’ s-themed outfits and design their dream restaurants. This 3D online environment runs on Bandwagon’s BW.LAND technology, ensuring a seamless digital experience.
By incorporating prominent wallet hosting services like MetaMask, users can authenticate their identity and partake in token-gated activities within the metaverse ecosystem.
This integration allows for a secure and personalized experience for each participant. The virtual world is also designed to provide tangible rewards, such as food deals and prizes, making the experience even more engaging.
Collaboration with Bandwagon Labs and Grimace NFTs
This metaverse initiative builds on the previous collaboration between McDonald’s Singapore and Bandwagon Labs. Last year, they launched a series of 2,000 NFTs featuring the iconic Grimace character. These NFTs are now an integral part of “My Happy Place,” offering special perks to their holders.
According to Drina Chee, Senior Director of Marketing & Digital Customer Experience at McDonald’s, this digital venture aims to enhance customer engagement by offering daily “phygital” rewards – a blend of physical and digital benefits.
