Fast-casual Asian street food concept Wow Bao launched an immersive experience and limited-time promotional campaign that crosses its Hot Buns Club rewards program with the best features of the virtual experience on Roblox.
Dim Sum Palace serves up digital and physical rewards for Roblox users and it welcomes virtual visitors with a DJ, a dancefloor, VIP lounges, Momo’s Restaurant and a hidden speakeasy. Throughout the virtual restaurant created in 3D, Roblox users will have to hunt for hidden clues to gain access to a limited supply head accessory for their avatars.
After signing up or signing in to Wow Bao's Hot Buns Club rewards program and connecting their Roblox account, users can unlock a coupon for a free box of Wow Bao at their local grocer, and enter to win free Wow Bao for a year.
