  There are two ways to enter Decentraland, the metaverse platform that is hosting this experience. You can connect your digital wallet via MetaMask, or enter as a guest. Please note that if you enter as a guest you will not be able to keep any wearables you acquire. Once you make your selection, you’ll be guided to create an avatar, if you haven’t already done so.

  Once you sign in to Decentraland, you’ll be prompted to create an avatar. Decentraland has a highly customizable Avatar Creator that lets you personalize how you want your virtual representation to look, from skintone and hairstyle all the way down to accessories. You can then name your avatar.

• What types of activities can I do in the MetaVIP Lounge?

  Part of the fun of the metaverse is the freedom to explore. Take a look around our spaces and see what you can find. But for sure don’t miss the Honeydew Hunt, a game where you must find the Honey Deuce garnish, three honeydew melon balls, among tennis balls in a colorful background. Once you complete that quest, take your garnish to the Honey Deuce Bar, where you can order and receive your own limited-edition Honey Deuce garnish wearable, while supplies last. And visit our wearables vending machine to take a quiz to earn even more exclusive virtual merch.

• How do I collect the wearables?

  After you find three melon balls in the Honeydew Hunt, redeem them at the bar for a Honey Deuce wearable. Or visit our wearables vending machine, pass a fun quiz and pick your prize. However you earn a wearable, it will be dropped to your avatar. When you go to the Avatar Creator within Decentraland, you will see it in the wearables tab and can choose which ones you want to wear. You must have your MetaMask digital wallet connected in order to receive and save wearables.

• When will I receive my wearable?

  Your GREY GOOSE ^® x US Open wearable will appear in your backpack when it is available. It may not appear right away based on network connection but rest assured it is on the way.

• Do I get to keep the wearable forever? Is it an NFT?

  Yes, your wearables do not expire and may always be worn within Decentraland. And yes, they are technically NFTs that your avatar can wear.

• How do I set up a MetaMask wallet?
