Ok, we all know Roblox as the home of many weird and wacky things you might not expect, and here’s the latest of those – the horrors of working at Swedish flat-pack furniture store IKEA. Yep, ten lucky people will soon be hired by IKEA to run a virtual shop selling virtual Tillslag trestle tables, and if you’re over 18, you could be one of them.
Don’t worry, you will be paid for pausing your pursuit of a Takeshi’s Castle assault course world record in order to join the retail workforce.
“The Co-Worker Game” is the name of this IKEA venture and it’s a virtual store that’s set to open in the game on June 24, with the aim of allowing “players to immerse themselves in the working world of IKEA” (thanks, TheGamer). Basically, the goal is giving people a taste of what it’s like to work in a real IKEA, at least in terms of what you do and what the career progression is like.
