This Halloween, head over to Upland to enjoy an immersive haunting in the Creedmoor Hub. Located in a virtual reimagining of Bellerose, Queens, Creedmoor Hub has turned Upland’s neighborhood map into a chilling homage to local legend, complete with “crooked” houses and ghostly décor.
Born from an abandoned asylum with a notorious reputation for hauntings, Creedmoor has quickly become the metaverse’s first spooky node, a place where it’s “always Halloween.”
The origins of Creedmoor date back to April 2022, when Upland declared Creedmoor’s Building 25 as one of just three Ultra Rare Collection properties in New York City. This designation ignited the community’s creative spark, transforming Creedmoor Hub into a world of eerie architecture and folklore. True to its theme, Creedmoor’s players embraced the eerie reputation of the asylum, intentionally designing their houses to appear crooked.
Today, Creedmoor thrives as a gathering place for digital Halloween enthusiasts and Upland players looking to explore the spooky side of the metaverse. Its players have developed a yearly Halloween tradition, with past events like “The Creedmoor Halloween Race Spooktacular” raising over $5,000 for The Child Mind Institute, supporting children with mental health and learning challenges. But in 2024, Creedmoor is aiming even higher with its Creepfest 2024—a full-scale Halloween festival to secure its spot on Upland’s leaderboard.
Creepfest ’24: A Metaverse Halloween Extravaganza
Creedmoor’s Creepfest 2024 promises an exciting lineup of events, including The Ghost Race, Wicked Rumbles, Witching Hour Flash Challenges, a Haunted House Staking Competition, and a Halloween Decorating Contest.
Players from various communities in Upland are joining forces to help Creedmoor dominate the leaderboard and earn the title of an official “neighborhood collection.” Participants can expect to see mind-bending visuals, unique avatars, and plenty of eerie assets—all thanks to the many players who have contributed their own items to enhance the festivities.
As part of Creepfest, Creedmoor will gift its supporters a commemorative map asset, a digital memento representing the collaboration and creativity of this unique metaverse celebration. These limited-edition assets have become a meaningful part of Upland’s digital economy, allowing creators to profit from sales of their designs, from virtual jack-o-lanterns and tombstones to ghostly fences and hauntingly realistic “skins” for homes.
The Year-Round Community of Creedmoor
Creedmoor isn’t just about seasonal celebrations. Year-round, players can find plenty to do within this spooky neighborhood. The Creedmoor Circuit racetrack offers a unique virtual racing experience, and soon, the Creedmoor Café will open, creating a digital space for players to meet in their 3D avatars.
An “open-door” policy makes Creedmoor accessible to all Upland players, regardless of where their properties are located. With a bustling Discord server, Creedmoor’s community has grown into a welcoming space where new players can learn about the game, meet friends, and find support. As community leaders K_Saucey, Shaktilyn, SwedishMogul, and UmbrellaBoy emphasize, it’s about inclusivity, mentorship, and keeping the Halloween spirit alive all year.
The Future of Halloween in the Metaverse
As the first spooky node in Upland, Creedmoor Hub is setting a new standard for holidays in the metaverse. By blending eerie visuals with a supportive community, engaging events, and a thriving digital economy, Creedmoor’s Halloween celebration represents the future of interactive holiday traditions.
For those who want to experience the magic of Halloween without physical limits, Creedmoor Hub is an ideal place to explore, celebrate, and connect. Jump into Upland and enjoy exploring one of many virtual experiences that give you a taste of future entertainment.
