Entrepreneur Pierina Merino is Making Space for FlickPlay – A New Social Segment Where People Tell Their Best Stories in Their Favorite Places – Press Release

New platform ushers in the 3D era of social media by creating a gamified experience that allows users to generate interactive videos while immersed in a location where they can also participate in challenges with rewards.

Venezuelan-born young entrepreneur, Pierina Merino, launched a first-of-its-kind 3D social media app — available now in the Apple Store — in the U.S. back in July. And the widely popular interactive social craze is scheduled to release their map game in six key cities in Spain at the end February 2021.

Sharing life’s moments in social media became popular with Twitter and Facebook, which are part of the 1D era using text and images.

Merino clarifies that FlickPlay utilizes the same game concept as Pokémon Go, combined into a content distribution platform like TikTok.
