Sandbox VR Expands Its Horizon in Bavaria

On October 9, 2025, Sandbox VR, acclaimed as the leading destination for location-based virtual reality experiences, officially inaugurated its first venue in Bavaria at the Forum Stein shopping center in Nuremberg. This opening marks a significant milestone as it represents Sandbox VR's tenth location in Germany, demonstrating the company's rapid growth and expanding global reach.

Located in the bustling heart of the Nuremberg metropolitan area, the new venue is designed for easy access via public transport, making it convenient for both locals and visitors aiming to experience groundbreaking entertainment. The facilities at Forum Stein promise to usher in a new level of immersive entertainment for Bavaria.

“Bringing the innovative world of Sandbox VR to Bavaria is a triumph for us,” said Torsten Schneider, Managing Director of Next Level Experiences GmbH, during the grand opening ceremony. “This location serves as a new hub for adventure seekers in the region who previously had to travel far for premium VR experiences.” Schneider has plans for additional Sandbox VR locations in urban centers and tourist hotspots across Germany by the end of 2026, emphasizing a strategic expansion to make virtual reality more accessible to the public. “Our aim is to integrate virtual reality into mainstream entertainment,” he added.

At the heart of Sandbox VR's offerings is the ability to deliver captivating hyper-realistic experiences, where players can engage fully in vivid digital environments. Equipped with cutting-edge technology including VR headsets, full-body tracking, haptic vests, and advanced sensors, groups of up to six players can immerse themselves in uniquely crafted worlds that range from thrilling sci-fi and gripping horror to action and fantasy.

Following the opening, Sandbox VR revealed its latest immersive experience, Stranger Things Catalyst. This highly anticipated VR experience invites participants to traverse the shadowy corners of Hawkins National Laboratory, the ominous Rainbow Room, and the disorienting realms of the Upside Down. Featuring beloved characters and narratives from one of Netflix's most popular series, this experience places players directly in the midst of the show's eerie atmosphere.

Apart from Stranger Things Catalyst, guests can choose from an array of ten exclusive adventures conceived by Sandbox VR’s skilled in-house game development team. These experiences include:

• - Rebel Moon The Descent: Created in conjunction with director Zack Snyder, this experience allows players to navigate through a futuristic urban landscape battling against adversaries while exploring the sci-fi narrative.

Sandbox VR is known for its unique flair, ensuring every guest walks away with personalized video highlights of their experience, akin to movie trailers. This innovative feature not only captures the laughter and suspense but also emphasizes the lasting impact of the adventure.
