SANDBOX VR

Immersive experiences that feel like the future

Sandbox is a futuristic VR experience for groups of up to 6 where you can see and physically interact with everyone inside, just like the real world. Inspired by Star Trek’s Holodeck, our exclusive worlds let you feel like you’re living inside a game or movie, and are built by EA, Sony, and Ubisoft veterans. See why Justin Timberlake, Kevin Durant, and Will Smith support us. In here, it’s possible.

Your real body transforms into your virtual body

When you enter our worlds, you become the action. Thanks to Hollywood motion capture cameras, 3D precision body trackers, custom hardware, and haptic suits, you get a feeling of transformation you can’t get anywhere else. You might forget you left reality.

You can’t experience this anywhere else

Our original worlds are meant to be experienced together with others. Whether it’s a journey to space or surviving a zombie ambush, there’s something about a thrilling Sandbox experience that transforms your relationships. Event & party bookings available.
