Netflix and Sandbox VR have joined forces to bring the world of Squid Game to life. With the success of the Netflix series last year, fans can now experience the game in virtual reality. Set to open later this year, players will be transported to iconic locations from the show and participate in challenges inspired by Squid Game.
The Ultimate Immersive Experience
Sandbox VR’s patented motion-tracking technology captures the movements of a player’s entire body, providing them with a highly realistic and immersive experience. Guests’ own bodies will act as their game controllers, all they have to do is step into the virtual world and participate in the action. This is a level of realism and immersion that cannot be found in home VR or other location-based VR platforms.
Personalised Highlight Videos
After each game session, players will receive a personalised highlight video that captures their in-game reactions and recaps how their Squid Game story unfolded. This will provide players with a lasting memory of their VR experience.
The Mission of Sandbox VR
“Our mission is to bring people closer together through world-class immersive experiences,” says Steve Zhao, founder and CEO of Sandbox VR. “What could be a more perfect fit than Squid Game, the most widely shared and discussed television series of the past years. It’s an amazing opportunity to partner with Netflix to provide these fans the chance to transport themselves into the world of the show.”
Sandbox VR’s Global Reach
Sandbox VR operates in over 30 locations across five countries, with its headquarters in San Francisco and an office in Hong Kong. Its latest funding round raised over $37 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Alibaba Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Fund, Gobi Partners GBA, and Craft.
