From now until June 3, 2009, members of Gaia Online can enjoy the mother of all prom nights with their friends during their second annual virtual prom event known as Promageddon.

Gaia Online, an online community of more than seven million users, created five uniquely themed virtual hangout spaces for virtual prom-goers to enjoy or participate in themed events to earn Gaia prizes. The first round of events taking place this week includes a matchmaker game where players take a personality quiz to be matched with a new Gaian friend either for the prom with or just to chat with in the forums. To participate in Promageddon, log onto Gaia Online to access your account (or create one).

On May 28, 2009, Gaia users can participate in the main Promageddon event by visiting one of the virtual stores and dress to the heels with stylish prom outfits and dance the night away without chaperons in a Dance Dance Revolution-style game that is accessible in each of the five rooms. The themed rooms include: Heaven (pictured), Hell, Skittles, Hillbilly and Aquarium-decorated rooms.

“Gaians are always looking for cool and entertaining ways to hang out with their friends online and this year we wanted to put a whole new spin on prom,” said Scott Kinzie, VP, Creative and User Experience at Gaia Interactive. “The ultimate goal with events like Promageddon is to create a unique and accessible experience for our users that is unlike anything else they’ll see online.”

There’s even a special treat that is exclusively for Gaians during Promageddon, seven brand new music tracks composed by artists Jeff Miyahara and Bentley Jones brought to the Gaian community by Gaia Online with profile pages for the artists available through the prom room areas for those interested. To get the virtual prom going, Gaia Online is offering 40 gaia cash (real money) free for purchasing nice prom attire or a costume for the masquerade ball for the event now until May 25, 2009.
