ABOUT US
Faketown is a virtual world for creative self expression and gaming. Our website is cross platform compatible and runs entirely in the browser via Flash. Its free to play but allows for microtransactional upgrades and exclusive membership access. Part chat platform, part interactive user-generated world, it is a creative social experience for irreverent and artistic people.
Unlike most virtual worlds that currently exist, Faketown caters to the average internet user and is not restricted to the traditional stereotype of the ultra-techno savvy, online gamer. Rather, the Faketown audience consists of a wide range of young individuals with interests in community, self-expression, and competition.
Faketown Audience:
87% of users are between the ages of 16-24
Female: 55%
Male: 45%
275,000 verified users
3,000,000+ page views per month
Average session length of 25 minutes
Key constituencies:
• Tastemakers and influencers • Urban youth • Artists, designers, musicians, and other creative types • High school and college students • Domestic and international
