【Girlfriend’s Sister [Uncut]】

Anyone who's been to South by Southwest knows the experience isn't complete without a trip to the Mashable House,Girlfriend’s Sister [Uncut] our onsite HQ. Since the festival is fully online this year, you unfortunately won't be able to attend the annual immersive experience in person.

But fear not: We're bringing it to you with the Mashable Home.

As SXSW enthusiasts will recall, the beloved Austin-based tech and music festival was canceled in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus. Thankfully, it's making a triumphant 2021 return with a stacked virtual lineup of keynote speakers, music festivals, film screenings, and more. The festival runs from March 16 - 20, but luckily you don't have to wait that long to enjoy Mashable Home, a 3D interactive digital experience packed with dozens of exciting activations.

If you've spent a good chunk of quarantine thirst-browsing Zillow listings or binge-watching home improvement reality shows, Mashable Home is a must visit. It's like being in an extravagant episode of Selling Sunset, with all the snooping around perks of a video game. And crucially, it allows you to explore home that isn't your own. (A luxury that's hard to come by these days.)

Grab some snacks, pour a drink, check your WiFi connection, and come hang. The virtual event runs here until April 8, and you can invite your friends to the house party by sharing the hashtag #mashablehome.
