ST. LOUIS — City Foundry STL will open a new entertainment experience in early November for guests to enjoy.

Sandbox VR is set to open on Nov. 4 at City Foundry STL in Midtown for guests to experience a full-body virtual reality entertainment experience.

Sandbox VR is an immersive gaming experience that combines full-body motion capture and high-quality haptics, immersing you right into the game.

"Opening in St. Louis and inside City Foundry STL is extremely exciting,” said Steven Zhao, founder of Sandbox VR. “This creative complex is bustling with activities and energy and draws visitors from all over the area. We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring our world-class VR experience to the community.”

The location in City Foundry STL will feature four private rooms for gameplay. Each room will have guests of up to six players who share the same experience and virtual world, relying on each other in the socially designed games. 

Players will be equipped with a VR headset, a haptic vest, a backpack and motion sensors on their wrists and ankles in the room. All the equipment allows players to see and physically interact with other players and the virtual reality they are in. 

Groups can participate six immersive experiences at City Foundry STL:
