    The check in area!
    Max K.

    This place was SO FUN! I had a great time and so did a couple of our buddies who came in! It was someone pricey but it was a full immersion experience. It was accurate enough that I could shake hands with my friends with the headset on. I was impressed! When moving in the game they gave fans that simulate the feeling of movement. We had a blast! I recommend the first person shooter games. Just a heads up, I don't own a VR headset so I don't know what it would be like to do this at home but I was really impressed!

    Sandbox VR birthday party kirkland squid games
    Steph M.

    My kid was one of 6 who attended a birthday party here. (4/5th graders) and they're pretty unphased these days. They're use to dave and busters and are regular gamers with all the devices and tech. BUT- this place AMAZED them!! ALL of them were so hyped afterwards. Saying how cool it was and couldn't stop talking about it even after we did food afterwards ( burgers walking distance at Joe's afterwards). Since the bday boy's mom booked the experience, I only have the observer experience, but it looked like a blast. They played squid games. No gore or anything scary that I saw on screen. Just seemed like some games from Season 1. Good team work activity too. The employee, Stewart, was a saint- having the most patience for the rowdy group of boys. There was I think 2 times that there was an equipment issue, and he was there to reset it and told the boys to hold still in place while he did it on the computer. I loved the video at the end and that all the parents could easily get the link and watch. I guarantee we'll be back. Cons- parking was in same building but it was still kind of a trek. Street parking was full. Women's bathroom - a stall was completely out of toilet paper. Backup ring and regular, so made me think it wasn't regularly tended to. Getting equipment on- I may have missed this part, but I didn't really get the instructions and had a hard time helping put on the wrist and ankle gear. I think maybe if the Velcro ones were exclusively reserved for the kids that would be helpful vs the ones that are like watch bands.

    Great first experience! My son had his birthday surprise there and they were very accommodating!! Thank you for being patient with us first timer!!

    READ LAST PARAGRAPH ON HOW TO POSSIBLY GET YOUR VIDEO The VR experience and the games itself are super fun and I highly recommend doing a shooting game versus the squid game. The body gear vibrates so when you get hurt it vibrates and makes you feel like you're actually in the game. If you're deathly afraid of heights, I wouldn't suggest doing the squid game experience because it really does feel like you're falling! When you book your experience you are placed in decent sized room so you are blocked off from other people, which I like because you're isolated from others and the sounds don't really bleed into your area unless they're screaming (there's scary games so some people get scared). Sadly, the one thing that keeps me hesitant from coming here is the customer service. You're informed to get there 15 minutes before your time-slot, but even when you get there no one is there to greet you or give instructions. I'm pretty sure the 15 minutes are supposed to be for the waiver and getting all set up with your gear so that it doesn't eat up your actual game time, but two times that I have been there we were spending the 15 minutes and sometimes more trying to find a worker. I also notice that sometimes they don't send out the email for the video that you're promised at the end of the experience. What you can do, (since it's hard to get ahold of anyone) is to make an account with Sandbox using the email you used on the waiver and the videos should show up on your experiences!

    I had such a fun time here! Haven't done anything like it before so I was nervous going in and not knowing what to expect, but I'm already excited to go back. Free parking in the garage right next door too. The staff are excellent and I felt like I was in good hands the whole time! Austin helped us out. The first 15 minutes or so is prep and getting into gear, you have a sensor for each extremity, a vest, backpack/VR set combo, and headphones. They explain what to expect, some safety things and most importantly help you pick which experience you want. We opted for Amber Sky which is basically a team mission where you kill monsters/aliens and try to deliver an important package. There's also a zombie room where you're in a dark room killing zombies (no thank you), a kid-friendly room and another option or 2. Once you have your gear on, they take you a big empty room where you get to play! You get about 45 minutes and it's a blast. I got warm wearing all the gear and trying to shoot monsters, so I don't recommend a jacket. You can have up to a party of 6 per room! At the end, you get your scores and a neat video of your experience that's almost like a video game trailer. Overall super fun experience! I'll be back

    Video trailer kept flipping back to an empty video game floor rendering instead of our real life footage in the play area.

    Although the activity/idea was fun. Ran into multiple technical hiccups including two separate batteries running out during the game resulting in lag and pauses. A haptic vest was having perma-vibration (for half the game). The kicker though was that when being shown our trailer video, the montage was glitched and had no footage of us actually playing, only in-game footage. The employee told us that the video would render our in-person portion later that evening on the website but we were very skeptical that was going to happen but felt more like a way of just getting us out the door. It's been almost 24 hours and the personalized trailer video is still bugged out. My girlfriend was really looking forward to that footage too. (Here's the link if you'd like to see for yourself, notice how it keeps flipping to an empty floor?) https://sandboxvr.com/event/3016fb87-8cfd-4283-84ea-4b4a4f26f3f8 I'm a huge VR fan but for an activity that is $55/person- there's definitely opportunity to refine this experience and stomp out all the bugs.

    Had my 3rd time here at the Sandbox. We were a group of 4. We tried the Curse of Davy Jones. This experience was free because of major glitches on our last visit last week. It's funny because that 2nd experience was free because of super major glitches with the Star Trek one in December a month ago. It appears there are always glitches with the equipment or software. They had to stop our game a couple of times because of problems. I asked if they were upgrading the software tonight and he said no. I asked because this was the cause of major problems last week. So ask if they're uploading on your chosen night! The Curse of Davy Jones is fun. You get to choose your character by shooting your favorite image from a few in front of you. This happens after you get your VR gear on. Pay attention to the directions when you have your gear on as it's a video that you can't rewind! I went with my grandson and his friend and they were laughing, talking and shooting each other the whole time so I didn't hear these directions and clues. There's a blue parrot telling you what to do so listen to him. Yes, it's hilarious when you see your characters with their weapons and you wanna mess around with that but unfortunately you don't have much time for that. Stay back to back always when the game starts as the skeleton bad guys come from all directions as well as demons coming out of the floor. It takes 3 shots to kill them. Pay attention to when you're out of bullets. There's a digital readout to the left of your pistol. Max is 10 then goes down as you shoot. Point the pistol down to reload. You can shoot stuff on the ship and that's fun as things blow up or move but you don't get anything for that. Keep track of your bullet count. I lost track so I killed less bad guys but I had the best accuracy at 72%. There's a red dot for aiming. Important point: I don't like violent games with the gore but these skeletons don't spurt blood which is better. There's also 2 big ghost bad guys that move across your play area. You can't kill these guys so just move out of their way or you'll incur damage. There'll be a ship appear which you sink with your 3 cannons. You light the cannon wicks with the torch or you can shoot the fuse. Shoot the cannon balls that come your way. The final bad guy will come up alongside your ship. Shoot his teeth with your pistols and cannons. Avoid his hand as he tries to smash you with it. When he dies you get your treasure! I like this game the best so far. Our group did Star Trek and Amber Sky 2088 previously. My 11 year old grandson said he liked Amber Sky 2088 most. He's a video gamer so take that for whatever it's worth. He likes to be a robot- but no faces visible so everyone looks the same. Conclusion: you'll have a blast for sure. It's worth 50$ each. Go have fun! PS: think of some funny names for yourselves and an overall team name before you arrive!! ( Star removed for too many glitches- I mean we were the only ones playing!)

I came here for The Vault with a bunch of people from meetup. The Vault was sort of in beta, so there were things expectedly not quite working, and I won't fault the company for this. Overall, the puzzles were interesting/fun/dramatic to interact with, which is pretty great. That said... I don't love linear puzzle rooms, and this one was seriously that. We had 6? people for this room, but there was really only one puzzle available at a time (the one time there were two puzzles, the "meta" of them was brute-force-able, which means it wasn't even useful to do). I think you could count the number of puzzles total to be something like... 10 puzzles, which is a disappointing number especially with the number of people in the room. It makes me feel like they spent all their efforts into the fancy decor and flashy lights and ...story?, rather than puzzles. If you do come to do this escape room and you've done some before, I'd recommend a smaller number of people. It was generally obvious which puzzle was the one that needed doing; there was very little search-the-room so not much else for anyone else in the group while the single puzzle was being worked on. (And because the puzzles were so physically interactive, it wasn't really like multiple people could work on it at once.) Staff was friendly enough, though the front desk was usually absent. They do have a tiny photo booth closet which I think is fun! And they have a large parking lot shared with the fitness(?) next door so you don't have to worry about parking in downtown Redmond. I got tricked by the fitness and thought it wasn't there, but it is.

They set up in the park behind our house, which was the perfect outdoor setting for the kids to run around, and it was much more affordable than many laser tag venues these days - even with us adding on extra obstacles for the kids. My son loved it and the kids had a blast! My only feedback is that the instruction portion felt a little long for a group of 8-year-old boys - it took about 20 minutes to get through, and attention spans were definitely fading by the end - wish there way to shorten so doesn't run into their game time and they still get important details. One other note, the laser tag guns were much heavier than I expected, so while 8 is listed as the minimum age, I'd say it really depends on the child's strength and stamina; 9-10 might be an easier fit for some groups as the boys did get pretty tired of holding the laser guns and you must keep two hand on it at all times. That said, it was a really fun, convenient, and unique birthday option, and I'd recommend them! The instructor was so nice and great with the kids. They were also very communicative every step of the way, arrived on time and were even set-up before expected. No one wanted to the leave the party they were having so much fun.

There's a total of 6 zip lines. They start at shorter and easier and increase in difficulty. I wouldn't say it's a very extreme zip line, there were plenty of young children doing it as well. Fun fact: the longest zip line is slightly longer than the Space Needle in length! There were about 8 people on the tour with my husband and I (not including guides). I think the only con is having to wait for everyone at every canopy which is understandable for a safety point of view but can take some time and I'm a bit impatient. But you're quite high up so I took the time to enjoy the views, peace and quiet of being in the forest! Also, a good opportunity to strike up some conversation with everyone else. The staff helped us get into our gear, get in and out of every zip line and gave us a velocity push when we wanted extra speed very kindly. Halfway through the tour, you even get freshly made lavender lemonade which was delicious. I would try to book this in advance if you're trying to go on a weekend. I went on a Friday afternoon and was lucky enough to book same day. All in all, if you're looking for a fun day trip activity nearby Seattle - this was an hour and a half drive and just a lovely day! Would come back for sure!
