The Sandbox, a decentralized gaming virtual world and subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Animoca Brands, and global next-gen entertainment company 11:11 Media, have on Thursday announced they will celebrate Valentine’s Day in the metaverse with ‘Parisland’, a romantic adventure set on a tropical island featuring Paris Hilton.
In the new experience, which will be available exclusively in The Sandbox, players will participate in an in-game dating reality show hosted by Paris Hilton, where they will interact with five potential romantic partners, Animoca Brands said in a statement.
According to the statement, from February 13 to March 13, 2023, players will be able to enter Parisland, the world’s most romantic island, and earn special rewards as they participate in Paris Hilton’s reality show.
Between choosing a wedding ring and wedding outfit, finding the secret of the chef’s famed Love Burger, rescuing a castaway, and flirting with other contestants, players will also make the most difficult decision of all: finding their true love.
When players complete all the quests and make their choice, they will be able to enjoy a fabulous wedding and dance the night away with Paris Hilton herself DJing for the happy couple.
“I can’t think of a better way to light up the winter months than a romantic Valentine’s Day getaway to Paris Hilton’s tropical island in the metaverse,” said Sebastien Borget, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of The Sandbox.
“Parisland offers a dazzling escape to sunny beaches, lighthearted romance, and genuine emotion as you discover and woo your romantic partner and celebrate with a destination wedding, he said.
Cynthia Miller, who leads Web3 and metaverse strategy at 11:11 Media, said :“We’re thrilled to celebrate another holiday in the metaverse, this time in The Sandbox with a mission to help people find love.”
“This marks yet another defining moment for Paris and 11:11 Media, as we continue to develop innovative, interactive experiences for next-gen audiences to connect with brands, celebrities and each other,” she added.
