Playing Roblox's new virtual back-to-school-shopping experience felt like gig work gamified
have all released gaming experiences on Roblox, where players could make Chipotle burritos or use Home Depot supplies to build birdhouses.Shipt and RobloxRobloxWhen I downloaded the game, "Driving Empire," I saw it had attracted over 800 million visits and nearly 14,000 active players, according to its description page.After downloading Roblox and loading the game, I was met with a cacophony of motor engines and basked in the digital palm trees and clear-sky graphics.
I claimed an order and began my stint, on digital foot, as a Shipt delivery person. A floating green arrow directed me to a supermarket stand, where I grabbed a slab of meat and two apples for my order.From there, I ran over to a building, where I met my customer, who had a spiky hairdo and appeared to be wearing a pair of lemons for headphones.While I completed my order with three minutes to spare, sadly, my customer docked me a star from a five-star review.
I also decided to up the ante a bit: I selected one of the more expensive delivery orders, priced at $765.I learned the higher the value of an order, the farther you had to travel to your item-retrieval and customer destinations. Then, I spotted a Roblox figure decked out in a lime-green Shipt uniform inquiring for assistance with deliveries.In return, he said I'd get"a really fast" orange sports car. The car was an upgrade from the sports car I started with, so I decided to help him out.Shipt and Roblox
