THE WORLD’S MOST IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCE, SANDBOX VR, HAS ARRIVED AT CITY FOUNDRY

Sandbox VR, a futuristic virtual reality experience featuring real-time motion capture technology, the latest generation of VR headsets, and 4 holodecks, each hosting up to six guests, is now open. The first St. Louis location has opened adjacent to The Food Hall in the eastern corner of City Foundry.

The St. Louis location, which was brokered by New + Found, adds Missouri to the VR company’s list of current operations in international cities such as Hong Kong, London, and Toronto as well as U.S.-based destination cities such as Las Vegas, Austin, Los Angeles, and Dallas.

“This year is shaping up to be an enormous time for growth at City Foundry STL,” says Will Smith, Managing Director at New + Found. “We’ve welcomed two new retail tenants, three new kitchens to The Food Hall at City Foundry STL, and announced two upcoming attractions. It is with great pleasure that we are able to add Sandbox VR to our first-to-the-area experiences and bring a global leader in virtual reality to St. Louisans.”

Sandbox VR uses patented motion-tracking technology to capture the movements of a player’s entire body. This, combined with their custom, high-quality haptic system, provides players with unprecedented realism and complete immersion. The fully immersive experiences are heart-pounding and thrilling — players will forget they’re in a game. Sandbox VR offers six immersive VR worlds for friends, family, and teams to explore and experience. Each of these worlds are created by Sandbox VR’s internal development team and are only available at Sandbox VR. 

‍

Players are equipped with a VR headset, a haptic vest, a backpack, and motion sensors on their wrists and ankles. This technology allows players to see and interact with their team while they free-roam together to complete experiences ranging from defeating zombies in a haunted mansion to a family-friendly Star Trek space mission. Participants choose from a selection of six experiences:

• Deadwood Valley: The newest and most immersive experience yet! Engage in an adrenaline-pumping zombie thrill-ride through a town overrun by zombies — you and your team get to choose the ending.
• Deadwood Mansion: Do you have what it takes to survive the zombie horde? Work with your team to protect Deadwood Mansion from the undead in the most popular experience.
• Curse of Davy Jones: Battle on the high seas against a variety of supernatural creatures to hunt for the long-lost treasure of Davy Jones.
• Amber Sky 2088: Soar through the clouds on a futuristic space elevator while defending Earth from alien swarms.
• Star Trek: Discovery: Built in partnership with CBS Interactive, Star Trek: Discovery Away Mission fully immerses you in the world of Star Trek like never before. Board the U.S.S. Discovery as a Starfleet Officer and beam around to explore alien worlds with your friends.
• UFL: Transform into a futuristic gladiator and dual opponents in a breathtaking arena outside the confines of reality.

Sandbox VR is open daily. The venue is located at 3730 Foundry Way, Suite 114, St. Louis, MO 63110.
