Duolingo’s mascot, twin The Owl, is dead. Okay, the twin is not really dead (we think), but the language learning application committed so hard for this piece that its chief executive, Luis von Ahn, Read a reverence For this favorite green bird in Tiktok.
As any writer of fiction could probably tell you, the murder of everyone’s beloved character is not a great way to make people like you. And what is the point of Duolingo’s unHinged starting marketing, if not to make people like the company so much that they will help create this sweet, captivating value of shareholders?
But Duolingo took out this sharp trick because Duo’s supposed cause of death It’s so outrageous.
“As I am sure you have seen so far, the Duo was hit by a Cybertruck,” Von Ahn told the video. “And, in fact, every character in Duolingo is dead.”
Ever since he made this statement, Duolingo’s monthly Android users have increased by 25% on an annual basis worldwide, per SimilarA digital market information provider. A similarweb also said that global downloads to Android rose 38% a day after the campaign and internet searches increased by 58%.
Duo’s “Death by Cybertruck” could be a distraction, but it gives people a way to channel their anger into the Elon Musk Empire at a critical moment.

On Monday, Duolingo launched a campaign to save the twin from a premature death – is ‘Twin or dies’ The company says.
By completing classes in Duolingo and keeping the learning strips alive, users can earn several in -app points to “store the Duo”. A website that records the progress in the resurrection of this vague green friend states that time is running out, but does not say when the time will run out – probably because it will simply revive the idiosyncratic owl as soon as the target is achieved.
Believe it or not, Duolingo probably doesn’t want to kill it extremely successful Marketing asset.
Duolingo’s aggressive agriculture tactics are definitely annoying to some users. If you are logged in with another user in Duolingo, the owl may have a narthex to your friend and tell you that Charlie is back in his French lessons. But most newly formed companies use these over-the-top marketing tactics-they are a little less smart for it.
“His mission was clear,” Duolingo’s chief executive mourned at Tiktok. “Make the training accessible. A frightening notice at a time.”
