Immersive Squid Game VR experience debuts at Sandbox VR
Netflix and Sandbox VR have partnered for a fully immersive Squid Game virtual reality (VR) experience, now available at all Sandbox VR locations.
“Squid Game” fans have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of the hit Netflix series through full-body VR that transports them to iconic “Squid Game”locations where they become contestants, take part in challenges inspired by the series, and compete against each other to be the last one standing.
“At Netflix, we have always been committed to pushing the boundaries of entertainment and we are excited to partner with Sandbox VR for the launch of our ‘Squid Game’ virtual reality experience,” said Netflix VP of Live Experiences Greg Lombardo. “By tapping into the power of virtual reality, fans can further immerse themselves in the world of this series with captivating and thrilling games they have come to know and love.”

During the “Squid Game” VR experience, groups of up to six play games from the series, like “Red Light, Green Light,” and “Cross the Glass Bridge,” along with surprising new twists that expand on the world of the series. At the end of each session, a personalized highlight video captures in-game reactions and recaps how each player’s “Squid Game” story unfolded.
“During early development, we knew the key to this project was to bring the unforgettable thrills and drama of ‘Squid Game’ to VR in a way that’s approachable and fun for fans,” said SVP Content and Creative Director at Sandbox VR, Michael Hampden.“Working closely with Netflix, we designed new mini-games and adapted ideas from the series. The result is an incredibly engaging and social experience, unlike anything Sandbox VR has created before. We can’t wait for the reactions when our guests take their first steps across the glass bridge, or hear the music stop in Red Light, Green Light.”
Sandbox VR’s patented motion-tracking system captures the movements of a player’s entire body in real-time, combined with high-quality haptics that provide unprecedented realism and immersion that’s not possible with home VR or any other location-based VR platform.
“Our tech enables guests to physically interact with one another while being precisely tracked in VR,” said Sandbox VR Founder and CEO Steve Zhao. “What makes Squid Game Virtuals exciting is that the experience truly leverages our platform’s capabilities. Guests’ own bodies act as their game controllers; all they have to do is step into the virtual world and participate in the action unfolding all around them.”
