Sandbox VR Expands Squid Game Virtuals with New “Repeat Racers” Mini-Game Ahead of Season 2 Launch
In a move that combines cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) technology with the global phenomenon that is Squid Game, Sandbox VR, the world’s leading destination for premium location-based VR experiences, has unveiled a new mini-game titled “Repeat Racers.” Developed in collaboration with Netflix, this addition to Squid Game Virtuals is now available at Sandbox VR locations worldwide, offering fans an immersive way to celebrate the highly anticipated second season of the hit series.
What is “Repeat Racers”?
Inspired by the high-stakes challenges from Squid Game Season 2, “Repeat Racers” invites players to solve puzzles and race against the clock to reach the finish line. True to the show’s thrilling essence, the game rewards players based on their finishing positions—while those who fail to cross the line are eliminated. This mini-game captures the competitive spirit and adrenaline-pumping intensity that made Squid Game a cultural sensation, allowing fans to step into the shoes of their favorite characters and experience the tension firsthand.
The announcement comes as part of Sandbox VR’s ongoing collaboration with Netflix to bring beloved entertainment properties to life through fully immersive VR experiences. Since its launch in September 2023, Squid Game Virtuals has generated over $30 million in ticket sales, underscoring the massive appeal of combining iconic storytelling with next-generation VR technology.
A Thrilling Expansion of the Squid Game Universe
“We’re thrilled to expand our Squid Game Virtuals experience with this exciting new mini-game that captures the intensity and competitive spirit of the series’ second season,” said Steve Zhao, CEO of Sandbox VR. “With ‘Repeat Racers,’ we’re offering players another way to immerse themselves in the world of Squid Game and test their skills in a high-pressure, adrenaline-pumping environment.”
By introducing “Repeat Racers,” Sandbox VR continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in location-based VR entertainment. The mini-game not only enhances the existing Squid Game Virtuals experience but also demonstrates Sandbox VR’s commitment to delivering innovative and engaging content that resonates with fans of all ages.
Why Sandbox VR Stands Out in the VR Space
Sandbox VR has earned its reputation as a leader in the VR industry by leveraging patented motion-tracking technology and advanced haptic systems to create hyper-realistic, full-body immersion. Unlike traditional home VR setups or other location-based platforms, Sandbox VR allows players to use their own bodies as controllers, stepping directly into the action and interacting with the virtual world around them.
This level of immersion is achieved through a combination of:
- Full-Body Motion Tracking: Captures every movement, ensuring seamless interaction within the virtual environment.
- High-Quality Haptic Feedback: Provides tactile sensations that enhance realism and engagement.
- Exclusive Content: Sandbox VR offers a mix of original and branded experiences, such as Squid Game Virtuals, developed in partnership with major entertainment companies like Netflix.
These innovations have positioned Sandbox VR as a pioneer in creating unforgettable, shared VR experiences that cannot be replicated at home.
Global Reach and Growing Popularity
Operating in over 57 locations worldwide, Sandbox VR attracts more than 100,000 players monthly, reflecting its widespread appeal and rapid growth. The company’s success has been recognized with several prestigious accolades, including being named one of Fast Company’s 2024 Most Innovative Companies and ranking as the 129th fastest-growing company in America on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list.
Headquartered in San Francisco, California, with additional offices in Hong Kong and Vancouver, Sandbox VR has built a robust corporate-owned presence alongside a thriving franchising program. Recent funding rounds have raised over $37 million, with backing from prominent investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, and Gobi Partners, as well as celebrity supporters such as Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Kevin Durant, and Will Smith.
