Walmart Discovered: The Future of Shopping in the Metaverse
Walmart Discovered reimagined retail in Roblox by seamlessly blending digital and physical shopping in a way that felt natural, fun, and community-driven. This groundbreaking experience allowed players to shop for real-world fashion and decor inside Roblox, unlocking exclusive digital twins to express their style both online and IRL.
Designed with the community at its core, Walmart partnered with Roblox UGC creators to craft digital twins that truly reflected player culture. In a first-of-its-kind move, one creator’s virtual designs were even manufactured and sold in Walmart stores nationwide, bringing metaverse creativity into the real world.
To make shopping an adventure, we introduced Glide & Seek, a dynamic mini-game where players raced through virtual worlds with custom carts, turning product discovery into an interactive, aerial experience.
The impact was massive—30M+ visits, 60K+ Discord members, and a seamless digital-to-physical integration that set a new benchmark for commerce in virtual spaces.
Walmart Discovered proved that shopping in the metaverse isn’t just about transactions—it’s about creativity, community, and engagement. By prioritizing players and innovating the way retail operates in digital spaces, we’ve set the foundation for the future of interactive commerce. There’s always so much to discover.
