Project Demonstrates Dave & Buster’s Commitment to Innovation in Fostering Relationships
Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLAY), the ultimate entertainment and dining destination, announced its debut in the metaverse with the launch of Dave & Buster’s World on Roblox.
Roblox’s Dave and Buster’s World is an interactive and immersive digital experience that captures the energy and excitement of the real Dave and Buster’s. Each game offers a unique take on the multiplayer experience, allowing for fresh ways for friends to bond over their shared love of gaming.
Although Dave & Buster’s enormous HDTVs are the best spot to watch football, the arcade games GridIron BlitzTM and Full TiltTM have been transformed into Roblox versions of obstacle courses in time for the Big Game. Other games include Superball Dash, an update of old-school lane rollers in which the player becomes the ball and races through exotic locations, and Zombie Survival, an original take on the arcade rail shooter genre in which fans can also fight a horde of zombies. As you travel the planet, you will find a plethora of hidden games and adventures.
Dave & Buster’s chief executive officer Chris Morris recently stated, “When it comes to midway and arcade games, Dave & Buster’s was first. The desire to maintain our position as the industry leader in providing engaging, interactive experiences for our visitors is what keeps us pushing creatively and innovatively in this direction. Dave & Buster’s World is a welcome addition to the ever-expanding realm of digital entertainment, and I look forward to seeing it succeed.”
Dave & Buster worked with Camelot Strategic Marketing & Media, an advertising firm, to further deepen their connection with customers both in-store and online. MELON, a long-standing studio and developer on Roblox, was responsible for developing Dave & Buster’s World. MELON has worked with several other Roblox partners, including Chipotle, the NFL, Pacsun, and musicians from SONY, Warner Music Group, and Universal Music Group. OPENING TODAY, the experience uses the most cutting-edge programming tools available to bring numerous staples of Dave & Buster’s midway to life in fresh and exciting ways.
