SAVANNAH, Ga., May 11, 2026 // PRNewswire // -- Sandbox VR is continuing to expand across Georgia, with a new location in Pooler, GA, a suburb of Savannah, at the Tanger Outlets - a bustling destination for shopping, entertainment and dining. The new location will open on Friday, May 15, as Sandbox VR continues to grow its global footprint with thriving corporate-owned locations and a robust franchising program that draws nearly 150K players monthly.

Recently hitting $300M in lifetime sales, the company has scaled to more than 80 global locations across five continents and 12 countries since launching in 2016.

Sandbox VR offers group virtual reality experiences with full-body immersion through a range of content, including Stranger Things: Catalyst and Age of Dinosaurs.

"Expanding into Savannah marks another exciting step in Sandbox VR's continued growth as we bring the future of immersive entertainment to more communities across Georgia," said Steve Zhao, CEO and Founder of Sandbox VR. "The strong momentum we've seen in Atlanta reinforces the growing demand for premium, social VR experiences, and we're excited to build on that success in Savannah."

The Savannah location is entertainment space with three private rooms for virtual reality gameplay, accommodating groups of up to six. The VR system enables players to interact within the same virtual environment. The experience provides a guided flow from arrival to exit, with optional highlight videos to relive adventures.

Experiences include Age of Dinosaurs, Stranger Things: Catalyst, Rebel Moon: The Descent, Deadwood PHOBIA, Deadwood Valley, Deadwood Mansion, Squid Game Virtuals, Seekers of the Shard: Dragonfire, Curse of Davy Jones, Amber Sky 2088, and UFL: Unbound Fighting League.
