Sandbox VR has opened its doors at Fashion Fair Mall in Fresno. Located at 639 E. Shaw Ave, the facility offers a departure from typical entertainment options by combining motion capture technology with haptic hardware.

Visitors enter a digital space where they can participate in 11 different experiences. These offerings cover various genres including action and thrillers. The setup relies on trackers that map player movement into the game while haptic vests provide physical feedback during the session. Environmental effects such as wind further alter the user experience to match the in-game action.

Beyond standard gaming, the site features exclusive content from Netflix. Titles like Stranger Things and Squid Game are available for groups to play together. After every session, participants receive a highlight reel from their game. This footage is recorded from a third-person perspective and is available for download or sharing.

Store manager Mehakdeep Kaur states that the location targets a wide range of visitors, from families to corporate groups seeking team events. The facility serves as a new indoor destination for local residents looking for interactive activities.
