The Straits Times
|April 14, 2023
Users can explore and play games, earn unique collectibles and win flight tickets
Changi Airport is the first airport in the world to officially offer an airport experience on global gaming platform Roblox, via the Changiverse, which allows users to explore and play games in the aviation hub's metaverse equivalent.
Besides the terminals and runways, familiar sights in the ChangiVerse include the iconic indoor waterfall surrounded by lush greenery at Jewel, the distinctive Changi control tower, and the outdoor dinosaur display attraction at Jurassic Mile.
From now until September, users can take part in the Changi Kart racing game, where the racer with the fastest time each month stands to win a pair of economy class tickets on Singapore Airlines to any destination with a direct flight on the airline.
Overseas winners can win a trip to Singapore and a chance to see Changi Airport in person, said Changi Airport Group (CAG) in a media statement on Thursday.
