CBS AND CreativeDepartmint LAUNCH FIRST OF ITS KIND METAVERSE/WEB3 GAME FOR HIT SERIES "GHOSTS"

Today, CBS Original "Ghosts," TV's #1 New Series and the #1 Comedy on Paramount+, Has Expanded into the Popular Metaverse Game Decentraland with the Recreation of the Show's Haunted Woodstone Mansion

CBS' inaugural step into the metaverse commenced earlier today (July 21) with an immersive experience for fans of CBS Original comedy series GHOSTS in the popular metaverse game in Decentraland, a leading next-generation Web3 gaming platform. (The game will be accessible through September via www.ghostsmetaverse.com.)

Activated and developed in collaboration with Web3 marketing agency CreativeDepartmint, the experience takes fans and their self-designed avatars on an immersive journey through the show's haunted Woodstone Mansion to solve puzzles, undertake quests and earn limited edition, collectible NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), all in celebration of GHOSTS, TV's #1 new series and #1 comedy on Paramount+, which returns for its sophomore season this fall.

GHOSTS' Woodstone Mansion was meticulously created to mirror the series' actual sets and features delightful and surprising interactions with the show's main characters, which were voiced by the series' stars. There are more than 10 types of collectibles that fans can earn that will unlock access and future experiences, such as playing a piece of music on a virtual piano or cooking up a dish that will appeal to one of the characters, and much more.

"We are continually looking for innovative ways to further develop new audiences for CBS programming, and our hit series GHOSTS, with its significant following, wide-ranging otherworldly characters and expansive setting, seemed like a natural fit for the metaverse," said Mike Benson, president and chief marketing officer at CBS. "This super engaging and elaborate Web3 GHOSTS game in Decentraland brings the series to life in an exciting way that's never been done, enabling visitors to each have their own very unique experience while exploring the world of the show."

The GHOSTS game and NFTs are deployed on the carbon-neutral Polygon network, the leading decentralized Ethereum scaling platform. 1,100 tokens are available for each character with varying degrees of rarity, giving fans the opportunity to own a piece of the comedy's history on a blockchain network that champions unrivaled user experience and rapid speeds.

"Since we opened our doors, CreativeDepartmint has been bringing major media brands into innovative spaces like Web3 to surprise and delight existing fans and attract new audiences to their IP with authenticity and style," said Jonathan Block-Verk, founder of CreativeDepartmint. "We're thrilled to help CBS enter the metaverse with the first-ever Decentraland game built by a U.S. network."

CreativeDepartmint worked closely with the Web3 platform Moonwalk to deliver the collectible NFTs, and collaborated with renowned metaverse studio TerraZero to create an unforgettable Decentraland experience.

"Entertainment has been driving metaverse adoption globally, and Decentraland is excited to have an institution like CBS enter the metaverse and bring a new type of immersion from the TV world," said Adam de Cata, head of partnerships at Decentraland Foundation.

"This is one of our most captivating projects to date and a clear indicator that Web2 audiences are becoming Web3 communities in the metaverse," said Ryan Wyatt, CEO at Polygon Studios. "We're thrilled to be partnering with CBS and CreativeDepartmint to help them delight the fans of GHOSTS in the metaverse."

The GHOSTS metaverse activation is part of CBS' "Summer of GHOSTS" immersive marketing campaign honoring the "recently departed" first season and its upcoming sophomore season this fall. Throughout the summer, multi-city in-person events are celebrating the spirited title characters and living leads of the show. Each character is being honored with distinctive "to die for" activations, bringing their individual worlds and stories into the here and now with a variety of in-person events, stunts and experiences.

Season two of the critically acclaimed #1 new comedy/series and breakout hit GHOSTS will premiere Thursday, Sept. 29 in its new time slot at 8:30 PM, ET/PT on CBS. The entire first season is available to stream on demand on Paramount+. The series is produced by CBS Studios in association with Lionsgate Television and BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions.

About GHOSTS

GHOSTS is a single-camera comedy about Samantha (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), a cheerful freelance journalist and up-and-coming chef from the city, respectively, who throw both caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a huge rundown country estate, Woodstone Mansion, they inherited into a bed & breakfast - only to find it's inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home. The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer, Alberta (Danielle Pinnock); Isaac, the 18th-century forgotten Founding Father (Brandon Scott Jones); Flower, a hippie from the '60s (Sheila Carrasco); Pete, an upbeat '80s scout troop leader (Richie Moriarty); Thorfinn, a Viking warrior from 1009 (Devan Chandler Long); Trevor, the slick pantless-for-eternity '90s finance bro (Asher Grodman); Sasappis, a sarcastic and witty Native from the 1500s (Román Zaragoza); and Hetty, a Victorian society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron (Rebecca Wisocky). If the spirits were anxious about the commotion a renovation and B&B will create in their home, it's nothing compared to when they realize Samantha is the first live person who can see and hear them.
