After MultiVersus, Beetlejuice is arriving in Roblox, but the creator has taken things up a notch by offering movie tickets in the pixelated game.
Hollywood has become a big part of video games, with games like MultiVersus, Fortnite, and Call of Duty introducing skins and characters based on movies and TV shows. Recently, IKEA used Roblox to find new virtual employees in a creative way. Now, Roblox is taking it a step further by letting players buy movie tickets inside the game.
Whether players want to watch the movie or not is up to them, but most would be glad to know that this event also offers free UGC.
There’s a virtual Fandango shop within Roblox’s Escape the Afterlife lobby from where players can purchase the ticket for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
To play the Escape the Afterlife event and buy tickets, follow this link and load the mode. Once you open the game, you’ll be directly transported to The Afterlife lobby, which has some unseen locations from the upcoming movie. You’ll get an option to enter one of the three spooky locations, where you’ll rescue characters like Delia and Lydia and the new character Astrid, portrayed by Jenna Ortega in the movie.
Of course, it won’t be easy as ghouls would make the escape as tricky as they can. If you escape, you’ll unlock a connection to four popular Roblox games: Barry’s Prison Run, Carry a Friend!, Escape a Running Head, and The Floor is Lava. When you finish playing one of these games, you’ll get to enter the Afterlife and meet Beetlejuice. There, you can collect exclusive virtual items and interact with the mischievous bio-exorcist himself.
Within the lobby, there’s a Fandango store where you can buy tickets to see the movie Beetlejuice when it’s released in U.S. theaters on September 6. The tickets will be available for purchase starting on August 5.
Now, for the best part. During the whole event, you can collect Beetlejuice coins and redeem them to earn free UGC. Those who purchase the ticket will get a Beetlejuice Beetlejuice exclusive avatar item available for use on Roblox with in-game effects.
Only players over the age of 13 within the USA are allowed to make the ticket purchase on August 5. The rest can enjoy the game, but they won’t be able to buy the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie tickets from the Fandango shop.
Players must be 21 years of age or older or reach the minimum age for gambling in their respective state and located in jurisdictions where online gambling is legal. Please play responsibly.
