As a consequence, visitors can participate in quests for a chance to earn $SAND tokens, further enhancing the immersive and rewarding nature of this unique virtual pub adventure.

Collaborating with the Best

The all new Irish-themed destination was developed by high-flying Brazilian gaming company, Hermit Crab Game Studio. With a strong track record in Metaverse gaming experiences, it has previously collaborated with high-profile brands such as Warner Music Group, The Walking Dead, and Jamiroquai. In addition to developing mobile games for elite football clubs like Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, and Manchester City. An impressive resume that effectively ensures a one-of-a-kind Metaverse experience at the Irish Shebeen.

Furthermore, in celebration of the launch, The Irish Shebeen has forged a partnership with Kinahan Whiskey, which will offer an exclusive Irish tipple to mark the occasion. A move that will further elevate the virtual pub experience, providing visitors with a unique memento to commemorate the groundbreaking event in the Metaverse.

The Irish Shebeen: A Sanctuary for the Metaverse Homeless

Jillian Godsil and Lisa Gibbons conceived this virtual sanctuary for users to connect and revel in Irish hospitality. Lisa Gibbons, a forager and Web3 journalist, was motivated to establish the Irish Shebeen after discussing the feeling of being “homeless” in the Metaverse. She envisions the virtual pub as a gateway to Irish culture and a platform for diverse creative talent, potentially expanding into other virtual environments.

The Irish Shebeen designed its venue for interaction and engagement, blending gamification with a platform to showcase Irish artists, musicians, poets, dancers, and storytellers. Jillian Godsil, a Blockleaders co-founder and renowned Web3 journalist, underscores the significance of crafting a welcoming Metaverse space where people feel at home.

“As a homelessness activist here in Ireland–and a woman whose home was repossessed by the banks–the idea of being homeless on the internet was a shocking one. We can’t give everyone a home but we can give them a place to go and feel welcome and at home.”
