Sandbox VR Debuts First North Carolina Venue in Winston-Salem

The new site, developed in partnership with the Madison Bennett Corporation, will feature four specialized VR rooms equipped with headsets, haptic vests, and motion sensors. These tools allow up to six players at a time to experience full-body immersion, interacting physically within digital environments. Beyond the gaming area, the venue includes a bar and a private party room designed to cater to local families, students, and corporate groups.

Franchise owner Arthur Hengler aims to integrate the venue into the city’s existing nightlife and entertainment scene. The company, which recently surpassed $300 million in lifetime sales, is banking on its library of original and licensed content—such as "Stranger Things: Catalyst"—to draw crowds. Players can currently access a 30% discount on bookings through August 13 ahead of the official launch.
