The Gold Rush Kid Experience, developed by Roblox development studio MELON, aimed to bring the ethos of George’s third album to life in the metaverse through a gamified concert. This provided a key moment within the broader marketing campaign and gave fans around the world the opportunity to participate in the immersive concert and play themed mini-games.
During the lead-up and concert weekend late July-early August 2022, the Gold Rush Kid Experience attracted 860,000 unique visitors, with a total of 2.5m visits over the concert weekend.
The project was a collaboration between George Ezra, Closer Artists, Columbia Records UK, 4th Floor Creative, Sony Music Global Digital Business, MELON and Roblox.
