UP! takes users on a dynamic, personalized journey to become successful entrepreneurs and cultural changemakers. In e.l.f.

UP!

“Our community has been asking for us to be on Roblox,” said Kory Marchisotto, Chief Marketing Officer, e.l.f. Beauty. “It’s part of our journey to disrupt norms, shape culture and connect communities through positivity, inclusivity and accessibility. We did it first on TikTok with e.l.f. Yeah, then on Twitch with e.l.f. You, and e.l.f. UP! on Roblox will be no different. This time we are able to create an experience where our community can follow their entrepreneurial dreams and empower the next generation of changemakers who flourish in these digital economies.”

Informed by the World Economic Forum's 2023 Future of Jobs Report insight that, "creative, analytical thinking and coding are the key skill sets for today’s workplace,” and a recent study by BazaarVoice that reported, “62% of all Gen Z either are or intend to become entrepreneurs,” e.l.f. UP! provides a digital sandbox to foster creativity and entrepreneurship. e.l.f. UP! was also built on the insight that, “88% of Gen Z say expressing themselves in immersive spaces has likely helped them comfortably express themselves in the physical world,” (Source: Roblox’s 2023 Digital Expression: Fashion & Beauty Trends Report).

The e.l.f. UP! Experience

Built by Supersocial, a premiere developer and publisher of metaverse games and experiences, e.l.f. UP! features experiences inspired by e.l.f.’s hero offerings, like Big Mood, a recording studio and karaoke bar, Holy Hydration!, an underwater sea life charity and animal rescue, Halo Glow, a crystal cave jewelry and art gallery, and Power Grip, an extreme climbing gym and tech startup. Distinctive features of the tycoon experience include advanced visuals and unique immersive elements that set it apart within the Roblox platform. Non-playable characters will have unique personalities and serve as collectible ever-changing figures to be treated equally in-experience. Future developments post-launch will include a pet adoption center where users can adopt animals to join their journey, new game mechanics, more areas inspired by new products and launches, a multi-lingual rollout and more.

One Million UGC Giveaways

In another eyes.lips.first, e.l.f. will be giving away over one million user-generated content (UGC) items free in the e.l.f. UP! experience, starting with 10 unique items on launch, inspired by e.l.f.'s most popular Holy Grail products. Users will earn e.l.f.ing amazing accessories influenced by the shops within their tycoon that reflect their values and passions, like a Holy Hydration! Goldfish Pet or Big Mood Musical Wings.

“In partnering with e.l.f., we are amplifying a game-changing vision: the e.l.f. UP! experience on Roblox isn't just another game; it's a virtual breeding ground for tomorrow's artists, activists and changemakers,” said Yonatan Raz-Fridman, founder and CEO, Supersocial. “It combines social impact with community-driven creativity, setting the stage for a new kind of social entrepreneurship in the virtual world.”

Every day, tens of millions of people use Roblox to connect, communicate and explore millions of immersive experiences together with their friends. Built entirely by its own community, the diverse platform aligns with e.l.f.’s mission to uplift and inspire its global community to be their best selves.

“Since e.l.f. entered into the gaming community, they have always led with purpose on making the space a better, safer and more uplifting place for all types of gamers, no matter their gender or background,” said Brad Timmins, founder and CEO of eGEN, a gaming and esports agency. “This next chapter in the ‘e.l.f.averse’ will continue to be a magical world to inform, uplift, empower and support gamers and the next generation of entrepreneurs.”
