UGC game development studio The Gang has partnered with the BBC to bring St. Gilbert’s boarding school into Roblox’s Paradise RP for a limited-time event.
The Boarders in-game event transforms the school section of Paradise RP into St. Gilbert’s, immersing players in the show’s universe.
It features interactive NPC versions of characters and a scavenger hunt where players complete quests to earn rewards, including a limited St. Gilbert’s blazer and a convertible car inspired by the series.
The limited-time event launched on January 27, ahead of the show’s Season 2 premiere on BBC iPlayer on February 3. The series is produced by Studio Lambert for the BBC, in co-production with Tubi and ZDFneo, with All3Media International.
An immersive experience
“The integration of ‘Boarders’ into Paradise RP reflects our commitment to engaging with young audiences where they are,” said digital commissioning executive for BBC Drama Milly Chu.
“This collaboration allows new and existing fans to step into a world they can play freely in, creating a truly immersive experience that bridges traditional entertainment with interactive media – and is the perfect way to celebrate the launch of series two.”
The Gang CEO Max Proctor added: “Our team at The Gang has worked meticulously to capture the essence of Boarders within Paradise RP. From the architectural details of St. Gilbert’s to the personalities of each character, we’ve created an authentic experience that both fans of the show and new audiences will enjoy.”
