After launching the Selfie Factory for the Instagram and TikTok generation, The O2 decided to create a new sister brand called Tikky Town. The first-of-its-kind funhouse in the UK provides an interactive experience centered around capturing content with the aim of sharing it on social media and for this reason, it's called a "content playground for big kids."
The UK's only TikTok-inspired funhouse has more than 30 vibrant environments for people to interact with, including a prison room, a balloon fan room, a pink Lamborghini and more. The Tikky Town experience is all about capturing photos and videos in a setting that provides the perfect lighting and backdrops so that social media enthusiasts can spend more time going viral and less time worrying about what to post to their feed.
