Back in April when Hike confirmed a surge in the app usage due to lockdown, the company also announced HikeLand, a virtual world on the app. Now HikeLand is available for all Hike users.
Hike is a virtual world where people can hang out online with friends. To begin with, HikeLand is coming with 2 unique shared experiences: Home & Big Screen. Home is a private space where users can hang out with their friends, watch videos together, and interact over a voice-led experience just like they can in real life.
Users can also customize their home as per their interest. Hike has confirmed that nobody can enter the Home without the user’s invitation.
Big Screen is the place where you can meet new people and begin new friendships while enjoying the content you love. Big Screen is powered by YouTube and it will be running shows 24×7 around Comedy, Sports, and much more.
Speaking on the unveiling of the Early Preview, Kavin Bharti Mittal, Founder & CEO, Hike, said, “With advancements in technology, so much is possible today that wasn’t even just a few years ago. The world has evolved, it’s time for social products to as well. With HikeLand, we’re launching the world’s first mobile-first Virtual World. A brand new take on how people can hangout online, transcending beyond the limitations of the offline world.”
