What was once thought of as a far-off futuristic potential is here. Though previously limited to the high-end tech world, virtual reality (VR) is now accessible to the everyday American consumer. You can buy VR headsets in almost every big-box store, and VR-specific games like Beat Saber are popular pastimes. But though VR gaming systems are making their way into the hands and homes of people across the U.S., these personal headsets lack the ability to provide complete immersion in the games, and leave the user wanting more.

Enter Sandbox VR.

Sandbox VR is a virtual reality company that offers unique gameplay experiences for groups of 2-6 players. What sets Sandbox VR apart from personal VR systems is its emphasis on fully immersive virtual experiences designed to bring people together. Founded in 2016 by Steven Zhao, the company has quickly made its name in the virtual reality space. With 26 locations across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, and 7 more set to open within the next couple of years, you can count on Sandbox VR becoming a household name in the entertainment industry.

Sierra Lawrence, Marketing Manager for Sandbox VR, commented on the social value of VR experiences saying, “I truly believe that Sandbox VR is the future of entertainment! Why watch a movie if you and your friends can live your own?”

When you arrive at Sandbox VR, an employee greets you and begins setting your team up for the game. Once you’re checked in and given the run-down of how everything works, you’re geared up with industry-standard headsets, haptic vests, and motion-tracking sensors, each of which is specially designed to create physical sensations that match the actions you take in the game; a particularly exciting feature for Sandbox VR’s darker games, such as Deadwood Valley.

Flesh-eating zombies, a town in danger, and a high-stakes mission. This is the world of Deadwood Valley; Sandbox VR’s newest game. Released just this past summer, it’s become the company’s most popular gaming option. This thrilling adventure will have your adrenaline pumping as you and your friends battle against zombies, mutant dogs, and monsters alike.

If you’re interested in trying Deadwood Valley or any of Sandbox VR’s other games, you’re in luck: the company just opened its first Colorado location this past September! You can find Sandbox VR in the Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree, Colorado.
