Sandbox VR is an offline VR experience for up to 6 people all at the same time. Sandbox VR has 35 locations across the world, in countries such as the US, Canada, England, China, Singapore, and Germany coming soon. But could you experience Sandbox VR from home?
What is Sandbox VR?
Sandbox VR is a company that specialises in providing immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences. They create VR-powered social gaming experiences that allow groups of people to interact and play together in virtual environments. These experiences often involve wearing VR headsets, motion-tracking technology, and sometimes haptic feedback devices to enhance the sense of immersion.
It’s worth noting, Sandbox VR is not related to ‘The Sandbox Metaverse’, which is a virtual gaming world built on blockchain technology. The two companies are just coincidentally named the same.
Sandbox VR experiences
Sandbox VR offers a range of games and experiences where participants can work together to solve puzzles, fight virtual enemies, or engage in other collaborative activities. They are nearly always social experiences, meaning you have to work together with the friends you’ve brought!
Let’s look at the games and experiences offered and then see if that can be replicated from home.
