The National Association of Landscape Professionals Foundation launched its Landscape Design Empire learning experience on the virtual platform Roblox, a virtual platform with millions of users.
“We are so excited about the opportunity to reach tens of millions of players on Roblox and teach them about the benefits of caring for the landscapes around them,” said Jenn Myers, executive director of the National Association of Landscape Professionals Foundation.
Designed in collaboration with Epic Reach, Landscape Design Empire offers young players an immersive virtual and interactive learning experience while they design, install and maintain landscapes. It allows young players to develop a foundational understanding of managed landscapes that may inspire environmental stewardship and foster a curiosity about landscape careers.
Landscape Design Empire is meant to be played with friends who can share their landscape designs with each other, create landscapes for clients and gain reputation, maintain the landscapes they’ve built, unlock new skills and jobs and collect and use landscape tools. New features will be added regularly to keep the experience fresh.
The virtual platform also allows for collaboration with industry brands that can incorporate their equipment into the playing experience. Users can experience Landscape Design Empire on Roblox.com and using any device including PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Amazon devices, Xbox consoles, and Meta Quest VR.
