Your prayers have been answered. A fully functional virtual IKEA – yes the Swedish flat-pack furniture shop – opens in Roblox today, with ten people having earned the jobs that were on offer to work in it. Those jobs, in case you were wondering, recieved “over 178,000” applications.
If you’re out of the loop, first of all, I’m very sorry. Second of all, we covered IKEA originally putting out the job alert for this Roblox store earlier this month. The pitch was simple. If you were over 18, lived in the UK and Ireland, and liked the idea of being paid the same rate as someone working in one of London’s actual IKEAs, you could apply to help people choose their furniture and/or serve meatballs in Roblox.
Well, now the search for folks to man“The Co-Worker Game” is over, with ten lucky applicants being set to open it up today, June 24, and begin “[immersing themselves] in the working world of IKEA”.
