Takis® Snacks Levels Up with the Launch of Takis® Tower in the Metaverse

Brand brings gamified experience for fans to the online gaming platform, Decentraland

COPPELL, Texas, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Takis® snacks, the iconic brand known for its intensely good spicy rolled tortilla chip, today announced an exciting expansion into the virtual world with the debut of its Takis® Tower. Taking the brand’s intensity to a new “level,” this tower will be accessible to avatars on Decentraland, a popular virtual reality platform.

Emerging technology has spurred a new age in digital marketing focused on the online world, and Takis® snacks is leveraging these trends to develop interactive ways to engage with fans. As the brand boldly establishes its presence in the metaverse, its iconic Takis Fuego® rolled tortilla chip will shine as the defining piece of the virtual tower, where users can fully participate in the Takis® online realm.

The Takis® Tower will feature an immersive experience in which avatars navigate their way through the building on platforms, walkways, and obstacles at each level in the pursuit of a limited-edition Takis® t-shirt wearable. Elements of the Takis® brand will be integrated throughout the tower’s design, including product images as platforms for avatars to advance to the next floor.
