Sandbox VR, the global leader in premium location-based, full-body virtual reality experiences, will open its 58th location at Pointe Orlando on July 25, 2025. The debut marks the company’s first entry into the Central Florida market, bringing its cutting-edge virtual reality technology to the heart of Orlando’s tourism corridor.
Immersive Group Gaming in a Virtual World
Combining full-body motion capture with advanced VR technology, Sandbox VR offers guests the chance to step into a fully immersive digital world. Up to six players at a time gear up with VR headsets, haptic vests, and motion sensors, allowing them to physically interact with one another in a shared virtual space. The experience blends the thrill of video games with the interactivity of real-world motion, making it ideal for team-building events, social outings, or group entertainment.
Sandbox VR’s in-house team of gaming industry veterans has developed a lineup of nine dynamic VR adventures. These include Rebel Moon: The Descent, Deadwood PHOBIA, Seekers of the Shard: Dragonfire, Unbound Fighting League, Amber Sky 2088, and Curse of Davy Jones, among others. Family-friendly titles and experiences based on pop culture, such as Squid Game Virtuals, are also available.
Each session concludes with a personalized highlight video, capturing gameplay moments and reactions in a movie trailer-style format for guests to relive and share.
Technology That Transforms Entertainment
Sandbox VR’s patented system offers a level of realism unmatched by home VR setups or traditional gaming arcades. Using motion capture sensors worn on the wrists and ankles, players control their avatars with their own body movements. The result is a virtual environment that feels physically tangible and socially engaging.
Five “Holodecks” Coming to Pointe Orlando
The new Sandbox VR location at Pointe Orlando will feature five private rooms, or “holodecks,” designed for group gameplay. Inside each holodeck, players can explore and complete challenges together—experiencing heightened emotions and action movie-style intensity as they physically move through each virtual setting.
“We’re proud to bring Sandbox VR to the heart of Orlando’s dynamic entertainment district,” Steve Zhao, Founder and CEO of Sandbox VR said in a press release. “Pointe Orlando offers the ideal setting for immersive, next-generation experiences—surrounded by top-tier dining, shopping, and entertainment. We look forward to introducing our one-of-a-kind virtual reality adventures to locals, visitors and conventioneers.”
Celebrity-Backed Innovation
Sandbox VR has attracted support from high-profile investors including Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Kevin Durant, and Will Smith. Their backing has helped fuel the company’s global expansion and further its mission to redefine how people connect through gaming and technology.
