Duolingo recently hosted an interactive pop-up event in Soho, New York, designed to engage language learners and the public in a dynamic, street-side setting. The event offered attendees a chance to shop for limited-edition merchandise, including plush toys, T-shirts, backpacks, and other branded items.
Attendees with a 30-day or longer streak on the app were also given the chance to participate in games and win exclusive merchandise not available for purchase. Access to the event was open to all, provided participants "completed at least one lesson on the Duolingo app and maintained a one-day streak." The pop-up featured a variety of interactive elements, such as claw machines, a dedicated photo-op area with the mascot, Duo—Duolingo's iconic green owl, and a selection of exclusive items, creating an engaging and lively atmosphere for visitors.
