Case Study: Northeastern University keeps students connected during COVID-19 with Yeti LLC

Northeastern University connects 10,000+ users with Yeti LLC's virtual Fall Fest

The customer, Northeastern University, faced the challenge of recreating the social and interactive aspects of its annual in-person club fair for a virtual environment due to COVID-19. They partnered with vendor Yeti LLC to move beyond a standard informational website and create a unique, fun experience that simulated exploring booths and allowed for community building.

Yeti LLC designed and built a retro game experience featuring an isometric pixel art world for students to explore with personalized avatars. The solution included customizable club booths with logos, information, and live Zoom video chats. The virtual Fall Fest was a huge success for Northeastern University, with 400 clubs and over 10,000 unique users participating on the event day, and the site continues to receive daily traffic.
