117,000 players engaging in immersive gameplay each month.
The initial ten guests who make reservations for that day will be rewarded with special giveaways, marking the start of an innovative entertainment option for Sacramento. Sandbox VR's offerings are renowned for their unique blend of full-body motion capture technology and advanced haptics, allowing for an unparalleled level of immersion.
