Seven branded spaces and their study role
The seven selected spaces form a bounded case set, not a ranking or a sample of all branded Roblox experiences.
| Branded space | Role in the study |
|---|---|
| Vans World | A skatepark experience in which street-culture identity and activity could be read together |
| NikeLand | A branded space centred on customization, interaction and virtual product cues |
| Squishmallows | A warm, comfort-oriented experience that made audience fit especially visible |
| Hot Wheels Open World | A free-roaming racing experience built around a thrill-seeking brand identity |
| Nerf Strike | An action-oriented experience using branded blasters as part of play |
| Gucci Garden | A high-fashion presentation whose aesthetic and setting tested expectation fit |
| Amazon's Trip Around the Blox | A brand-centred tour whose educational and promotional purposes competed for attention |
