Best ever thanks Anthony you treat us very great. people must come to experience much needed for the body

Rickey is the greatest!!!!had a really fun date night. We were victorious and I'd definitely come back

Thank you Anthony for making sure me and the homie had a great time. Highly recommend and will be returning

We did the Stranger Things Catalyst story and it was an awesome experience. Right when we walked in we were greeted by the friendliest staff members who guided us through the entire experience with patience, knowledge about the technology, and exceptional customer service. We went on a Friday in the early afternoon and it was not busy at all. They have a lounge area for food and drinks for your group to enjoy or anyone that's not doing the experience to relax in. Our favorite part was the ending highlight video complete with narration by one of the staff members which was a fun post-experience memory for us to look back on. Thanks to the Sandbox VR Culver City team Anthony, Brian, Ricky, and Chris for making our experience unforgettable! read more

This Sandbox VR location is equipped with nine different themed games, and I played the Deadwood Phobia here. It was intense and scary, I would suggest you pick a different theme for your first game, unless you're ready to face and fight some iconic zombies. Beyond the VR headset and headphone, you also need to wear vest, and gears on wrists and shins. It costs about $50~$60 per person for each session, a bit pricey, and after playing they usually give you discount for signing up for more games. The game session itself lasts about 30 minutes, plan at least a full hour for everything all together, including signing the wavier, game preparation and instructions, and debriefing after the game. The staff working here are super friendly, and they try to help you as much as they can. Last but not least, they validate parking for two hours. read more

I've done VR quite a few times at different places with different types of experiences, and Sandbox VR was definitely the best so far. I was skeptical that commercial VR could get any better, but as soon as I saw the technology and felt how it worked, my mind was changed. My friends and I did the Squid Games experience, which was more mental than physical but still fun. I'd definitely try a more adventurous experience next. read more

Always a great time here! Everyone is super friendly and the place is clean. Wes helped us the first time and Ripley helped us the second time. Highly recommend coming here! read more

Sandbox VR - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I first played a VR experience like this back in Tokyo in 2016 and it absolutely blew my mind. I've been chasing that same level of tech ever since, and most VR spots here in the U.S. have been...prettttty lame. Then I found Sandbox VR and WOW. The tech, immersion, and gameplay are next level. Easily the best VR experience I've had outside Japan. My friends and I loved it so much we've already been back 3 times. Every visit has been just as fun as the last, and it's become one of my go to spots for bringing friends and out of town guests. The cherry on top? They send you a free video of your group afterward, which is hilarious and such a cool touch. My only complaint is the price!!!! It's fine if you come to play just one game ($50-60/pp) but it adds up fast if you want to play several games or come regularly. I really wish they'd: 1) Introduce a rewards or loyalty program for repeat guests, and 2) Offer discounted package deals for people who want to play multiple games in one visit If they could tweak the pricing a bit, I'd basically live here. Still, hands down one of the most fun, high quality group experiences around. This isn't just for kids, adults will have an equally good time. On one visit there was a birthday party and it looked like so much fun with a table full of cake and food for the kids to eat in between games. I bet it's a great spot for adult birthday party too, they have a bar!!!! Tip: - You can ask the staff to "turn down the intensity" level for some of the games if that is a concern - budget ~1 hour per game (this includes putting on gear + instruction time) - of the Deadwood games, Phobia was our fave read more

This place was amazing and such a fun experience. We booked online, made a reservation and arrived 15 mins early to fill out waivers and get instructions. The staff were welcoming and fun and very helpful with explaining rules and procedures with the technology. We selected the zombie experience and boy was it so fun and realistic. I screamed the whole time, it was scary and downright fun. Because we went for my sisters birthday, they had a screen and a snippet of a birthday party, it was such a nice cute touch to the experience. You are able to sit, lounge, eat and order drinks as they have a bar. I definitely plan on retuning. Parking was a bit confusing but other than that, this place was really fun and enjoyable. read more

My first experience. I planned a birthday party for my 9 year old niece. It was a great decision because everything was amazing. From the easy planning and reservation process to the actual event. We chose a package with two games. 6 kids to a room (we had 12) The staff were ALL terrific. Helpful and efficient. They're especially patient when dealing with the kids, getting them fitted with jackets, goggles and headphones then explaining everything. It was fun to watch the kids enjoy this. We had a designated area and brought in pizza, cake, drinks and gift bags. A fun time was had by all. Our little birthday girl, Kaya said it was her best birthday yet. read more

The VR experience was very impressive. Everything from player height to lagless motion made the gameplay very immersive. Some friends were worried about a history of motion sickness but had no issue during the game. The staff are super helpful. My group of 6 were all first time players and they explained everything very well. It did take some time still to figure out the strategies but that's part of the fun. We were also pleasantly surprised to find out the videos are included in the tickets, not an extra cost like so many other experiences use. They also offered us 20% off if we booked another game within 24 hours and we happily took advantage of that offer. read more

My son had a blast at this place, the only down fall was that you pay $57 an hour but 30 mins goes into getting you and your team suited up... so you only have 30 mins to play your VR experience. I feel that you getting suited up should not include your 1 hour play time. read more

Really fun experience for our group of 5 (the max is 6) though we did have some issues of the headsets showing a black screen and a one time crash. But those issues got resolved quickly enough to not be too terrible. Highly recommend the Squid Game experience! It is some great fun for a large group read more

amazing! easy to follow and the guys were super friendly. I'd definitely bring back my family.

PSA: if you've tried other VR places, forget them all -- Sandbox VR is so much better! Unlike other places where they may give you a vest and a weapon that allows for tracking in the VR world, Sandoval ALSO gives you individual hand and feet trackers so you feel truly immersed in the VR world. First time I tried one of the Zombie games, and it was amazing! Our whole team of 6 strangers were running around shooting up zombies, ducking, helping tag each other back in -- we were all covered in sweat at the end but we made it! Second time i tried the Squid Game, less running around but I was still covered in sweat at the end, and still extremely fun! All the workers there are very friendly and clearly passionate about VR. The space feels very new and modern, clean bathrooms, and the clean water fountains were well appreciated. You can also buy drinks and snacks. Free 2 hour validated parking. It is a little pricier ($60 per game), but worth it! Can't wait to come back and try other games! read more

Great experience and activity if you've never done VR. We booked ahead for 2 people for my friends birthday for Amber Sky and they were accommodating because we were running late. They validate parking at the parking lot and when we arrived you can hear everyone screaming playing the zombie game. It's like a theme park virtual experience and super cool. I had some issues focusing but I was able to adjust it. They also serve food at this location! We got some chicken wings and some slushee samples. Jordan was our host and super helpful! Would recommend this activity for the whole family! read more

Get ready for a real trip and a great 30 minute workout. Better than therapy you take out all of your stress out on protecting the world as a robot protecting it from aliens. I screamed out all that was within me and will sleep well tonight. We went to Amber Sky 2088. Don't forget they do validate parking . Worn out from playing so going to bed lol! If you haven't tried it please check it out. It's unbelievable. read more

Squid Game had exactly what I want from VR as a roleplayer: a sense of "presence" that teleports you to a new place and feels immersive. The game had enough flexibility to allow me to define my own play-style without artificially imposed limitations. Staff were enthusiastic and helpful and I enjoyed the beverages on sale. Thanks Sandbox VR! read more

Sandbox VR was such a fun and immersive experience, definitely one of the coolest activities we've done! Everything felt super realistic and well run. Ricky was amazing, so entertaining, helpful, and really made the whole experience even better. Perfect, unique date spot. Highly recommend! read more

Fun game! Stuff was great too! The time we went wasn't too busy. Watching the aftermath was fun.

This was a very fun and unique VR experience - we brought my 7 yr old daughter to play the SQUID GAMES , it was 30 mins total time - doesn't sound like much but it's the perfect amount of time to be playing - the space was very clean and the staff was super friendly & they have a fully stocked bar for adults which was a plus When you walk in they make you check in on these tables Insert you email where they will send you videos of you & your party playing which is super cool . Once you're done they walk you to your room where you'll watch a instruction video while they hook you up with a head set and a vest that vibrates and hand and ankle censers You'll choose your avatar then Once everyone's ready it's game on!!! ** they have individual snack pack you pre order on the website & a squad pack with carries more snack ** ( my daughter and husband love all the snacks ) We will definitely be back with a group of adults --- super fun for the whole family read more

Love Sandbox VR. My son and I did the new Stranger Things experience. Let's just say, it's a lot lot of work killing all those demodogs. Staff (Anthony) was great. Highly recommend Sandbox! read more

We had a great time! Staff there was helpful and pleasant, especially Avery, he was the best! He explained everything thoroughly and was so helpful throughout our whole experience there! Will definitely come back again! read more

I had no idea this would be as fun as it was. I thought it would be good, but it was outstanding. The staff was great. The graphics were great. The device for the Stranger Things surprised me. I was happy that it wasn't just a gun it made it really unique and fun in a way that I didn't expect. It was really cool to live in the show and fight the Demogorgons and other monsters and things from the series it's easy enough that I was able to figure out how to do it, engaging enough that it kept my interest and active enough that I was sweaty and tired when I was done so nice little workout on top of It I highly recommend this. You don't have to be a kid to go here you could have just as much fun as an adult who wants to play I also love that there were moments that I genuinely got frightened in the VR and I was like thinking to myself you're being silly. You're standing on the ground. Everything is fine, but the VR had me believing that I was not fine and I was scared so quite a bit more yelling for me than I anticipated overall, my opinion is everyone should at least try at once. It's really fun. And they send you little clip videos afterwards you can remember it and share it with your friends and family that missed out. read more

We had a blast! Everything about the experience was top notch. Clean, new facility. Jerome was very helpful and made everything a success.

Came on a Sunday night to the new location! We didn't make reservations til a few hours before but they had lots of space. We played the Zombie themed game and I was really surprised at the intensity of the VR! All of the gear was light and you got to hold the real life weapon which then worked in game. We had only 1 technical issue (my vest was not turned on and therefore was not vibrating when I got hit) but the rest was SMOOTH sailing. 11/10 would return for a game here at this clean and spacious location. read more

This was such a cool experience. Went with a group of 4 and we had a really good time. They offer food and currently pending liquor license. We didn't squid games which was super fun consisting of challenges very similar to the show. Will definitely come back read more

The program was super glitchy, which severely affected the experience. They were understaffed so we did not get attention, which was very frustrating. The staff was kind and apologetic but I feel like I wasted $171 for 3 people. read more

Had played a game with strangers but by the end of it! We were hanging out like old friends. This VR experience was awesome and it took us all on a journey that was vivid and well crafted. The bar inside is a nice place to hangs out while we waited for our game to load up and the staff brought good energy and helped us emerse ourselves into the world we were going into. I loved this place and I would recommend you check this out asap! read more

Super fun experience with friends, the thrill of the missions will have you laughing the whole time

I've done a VR experience once before and that does not compare to Sandbox VR. The facility is clean and spacious. There are fans everywhere but I think maybe they should pump the air conditioning more as you will sweat! There also is validated parking in the Cumulus lot, which is super helpful in LA. The staff is super friendly and helpful - Emma and Maxx helped me on my second visit and they were great! I forget who helped me on my first visit, but they were great also. As soon as you enter (assuming you pre-purchased your tickets) go to the right and complete your waiver. After that, a staff member will come and escort you to your room. They'll explain how to put your gear on and run you through the safety procedures. Each room holds about 6 people max. My first experience with Sandbox was the Squid Games. I went with 2 young kids. The gear was not super heavy but took a bit to get used to. 5 year old wore it fine. The visuals were really cool and the game itself was super fun. As a player, you can be eliminated (I came in thinking you couldn't). The first time the 5 yr old and I saw someone get eliminated, he quickly turned to me and said "I'm scared!". I did scream as I did not expect it to be so graphic and the vest you're wearing goes off. Once you're eliminated, you're character is see-through for about 20 seconds and then you come back. It was fun for the grown ups and the 9 year old, but it may have been too much for the 5 year old. There is an option where they can prevent a player from feeling/seeing the eliminations. This helped a bit. It's based on a point system so someone wins at the very end. Sandbox provides you with 3 trailer videos which is a fun recap. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Which prompted me to return with a friend of mine to try the shooting ones. We did the Deadwood Valley. Yea, after the first 5 minutes, I knew that game was not for me as I do not like zombies running towards me. My heart rate was about 103 by the time I left and I felt exhausted. My friend thought it was super fun as he likes shooting games. We were both covered in sweat after we left this game. The visuals for both were really great and they were both fun. I think I would definitely come back for the other ones and if new themes come out. Tip: If you park in Cumulus, there is a gate that leads to La Cienega Blvd right by the Whole Foods entrance. You can exit there and access Sandbox from the entrance on La Cienega. If you go to Sandbox through the VOX gate, you may not come back that way as that gate is locked. read more

My first VR experience and trying it at Sandbox. Located at La Cienega, the spacious venue featured multiple options of VR games from zombie-themed to the infamous Squid Game! Yeah, HOW FUN finally able to enjoy the experience being the player of the games. The total time you might take for overall experience was one-ish hour with preparation wearing the vest, helmet, and other gears, as well as listening to all the brief. Each game could accommodate up to 6 people in a group, but great news they could do multiple games simultaneously in different rooms. It felt so real that you could choose your avatar, looking at your friends in their avatars, and competed to win. It's basically individual score-based game and you needn't worry if you're eliminated in the game because you would just freeze for few seconds before being brought back alive. You could even experience virtual free-fall with 'Cross the Bridge' game. They did ask in the beginning if you're afraid of heights so they could prevent you from seeing that part. Some of the games were bit twisted from the original ones, but I would say all of them were amusing. Although I would say it's quite pricey to go regularly, being at $54, it's certainly worth trying and would be great option for team building activity. I would have rated it 5 if only my device didn't have glitch in the beginning and took almost 15-20 minutes to get it fixed. Would surely come back some day for their other games. read more

had an excellent experience!! staff was great!! first time and i had a blast. i will definitely come back again!! wow that was sooo fun!!!

Very first time going. Definitely need to play with a gun any time and always We definitely need more fans for personally heat Keep the fans onnn But great experience read more

Sandbox VR - First try imma come back from this *at least I'm not last - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Knocked off a star because we were left waiting for about a half hour even though I had made a reservation. The staff were amazing though, really kind and helpful overall. My husband chose the Star Trek game and I had a lot of fun (even though I'm not particularly a Star Trek fan like he is). We can't wait to come back and try some of the other games! read more

We had such a great experience. This was actually my first VR experience. It was 4 of us and We all loved it. We played deadwood Phobia which was great choice it was fun and scary at the same time and also thank you Jordan for making it smooth experience for us. Appreciate you all! read more

I would not recommend this location. Our attendant was unfriendly the entire time. When one players system completely crashed, we called for our attendant for over five minutes as instructed, but he never showed up. Another attendant eventually came to help us. Our game also kept glitching and resetting throughout the duration. For the price, we expected some basic customer service and a more seamless experience. There was another team where all members were shrieking so loudly the entire game. It was so loud that we could not hear our game through our headphones. The parking was easy and the game itself was pretty cool. I would try again at a different location. read more

We walked in on a quiet Monday and it pretty empty and got help straight away. Staff was helpful all around and we had a great time as it was our 1st ever VR experience. We both wished the headset didn't get blurry periodically throughout the session, but well worth the money. The actual experience is about 30 minutes but there's like 15 mins of suiting up and practice plus 10 minutes to recap the fun at the end along with highlight clips sent to your email. I would revisit read more

We had a mini birthday celebration at Sandbox VR today, and the experience was amazing! The entire staff was incredibly friendly - special shoutout to Brian, who did an awesome job explaining everything and keeping the energy high! The experience was so much fun that we ended playing two different games back-to-back! For feedback, we'd love to see the gaming catalog expanded with more fantasy or medieval-themed adventures. Also adding haptic feedback (like sensors or even slight resistance/weight) to melee weapons would make combat feel even more immersive. Right now, hitting enemies doesn't have that satisfying impact or bounce-back you'd expect from a real weapon. Still, 10/10 experience - we'll definitely be back! read more

Definitely fun! This was a great way to have some family bonding time. Only reason why I couldn't give it 5 stars is because the venue was too hot! Avery and Dez are great venue attendants. They both walked you through the process and made great recommendations for beginners. We will be returning. read more
