Sandbox VR is located inside the Rosedale Center shopping mall in Roseville, Minnesota, just off Highway 36 — a convenient spot roughly midway between Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
Full-Body VR That Feels Like the Real Thing
This isn’t your typical headset-and-controller setup. Sandbox VR uses Hollywood-grade motion capture, haptic vests, and free-roam technology so you can actually walk around, reach out, and interact with your teammates inside the virtual world. Players can see and physically high-five each other — no avatars bumping into walls. Every session runs about 60 minutes total, including gearing up with the haptic vest and watching your personalized cinematic highlight reel afterward. The facility accommodates groups of up to six players per experience, making it a natural fit for friends, families, and coworkers who want to do something together rather than just watch a screen.
Worlds to Explore — From Dinosaurs to Demogorgons
The lineup of available experiences changes regularly, but the Roseville location offers a rotating selection of immersive story-driven adventures. Popular titles include stepping into Netflix’s Squid Game Virtuals to compete in deadly challenges, battling creatures from the Upside Down in Stranger Things: Catalyst, surviving a zombie outbreak in the Deadwood series, and walking among prehistoric giants in Age of Dinosaurs — a great choice for families. Other experiences available include Seekers of the Shard: Dragonfire (a fantasy quest with multiple storylines), Rebel Moon: The Descent, Amber Sky 2088, Curse of Davy Jones, and UFL. Players can switch their chosen world right up until the start of their reservation, so there’s room to decide as a group on the spot.
Built for Celebrations and Team Gatherings
The Roseville location has a dedicated Party Room available for groups, making it a solid choice for birthday parties, corporate team-building events, bachelor or bachelorette outings, graduation celebrations, and casual social get-togethers. The private event team works with groups to customize the experience, and a pre-event call helps tailor everything to the specific group’s needs. For corporate clients, the venue offers a futuristic alternative to the usual conference room bonding — no slide decks, just cooperative missions that get everyone laughing and working together naturally.
Staff That Knows How to Read the Room
Reviews consistently mention the staff’s ability to read the energy of the group and adjust accordingly. Team members like Jonathan, Marissa, and Ayden are frequently called out for being patient, knowledgeable, and attentive — especially when a player needs to switch games mid-session due to anxiety or discomfort. The front office team, including Boni P, actively follows up with guests to make sure every visit goes smoothly. The staff handles everything from explaining the equipment to capturing the group’s highlight reel, so players can focus entirely on the experience.
More Than Just the Game
The venue includes a lounge and recreation area where groups can hang out before or after their session. Every booking comes with a free personalized cinematic highlight reel — a short edited video that mixes footage of the group inside the VR world with their real-life reactions, ready to share on social media. The Gold Package option bundles two experiences for up to six guests along with a premium snack box and cold beverages, making it a convenient all-in-one choice for groups who want to make an afternoon or evening of it.
