Introducing Welcome to McNuggets Land: A New Metaverse Game from McDonald’s in “The Sandbox”
Despite the waning enthusiasm, major companies are still growing in the metaverse. As an illustration, McNuggets Land, an official planet in the Ethereum-based metaverse game The Sandbox, was recently revealed by McDonald’s Hong Kong.
The iconic Chicken McNuggets menu item of the fast food juggernaut is being commemorated with McNuggets Land, a lively gaming setting that has anthropomorphized nugget characters, dipping sauce-inspired décor, and playable missions with both traditional and blockchain-based rewards.
The fast food corporation’s Hong Kong subsidiary started the game, although it is playable anywhere in the world. Up to August 28th, the location will be active in The Sandbox.
Some awards, such as free meal vouchers redeemable at nearby McDonald’s restaurants, are only available to players who are based in Hong Kong, while other prizes, such as in-game products based on NFT and SAND crypto tokens, are available to all players.
In a press statement, McDonald’s Hong Kong CEO Randy Lai stated, “With 48 years of roots in Hong Kong, McDonald’s has always aimed to create creative experiences and pleasant moments. We are thrilled to work with The Sandbox to provide our consumers a fun-filled Web3 metaverse gaming experience with a McDonald’s theme.
It’s not the first time McDonald’s has experimented with Web3. While the company’s primary American division unveiled McRib-inspired NFTs in November 2021, McDonald’s France introduced Big Mac-inspired NFT artwork in April 2021.
Collaborations with well-known companies are customary for The Sandbox. Adidas, Gucci, Snoop Dogg, The Walking Dead, Ubisoft, Warner Music Group, and many more brands have already joined the metaverse gaming environment, which is built on user-owned NFT land plots that can be personalized and traded.
