Vans World launched in September of 2021, and is now one of the longest running brand experiences on Roblox. The destination is based around skateboarding and acts as a forum for Vans to test new technology and leverage skating physics.

In Vans World, users can design every aspect of their avatar and skateboard, ride their favourite virtual skate spots and compete against each other in interactive challenges. Vans says its visitors have logged more than 8 million hours in Vans World.

Vans World is celebrating is milestone by offering three free items to players – Vans Waffle Drip Bucket Hat, Vans Off The Wall Aura, and Vans Skateboard Wings. These items will be available until July 28.

Their emphasis on quick, fun gamification, customisation options, and smoothly maintaining brand integrity has helped drive success in this experience.”
