Sandbox VR

We're thrilled to unveil our brand new title, Deadwood PHOBIA, the third installment of our iconic zombie series. 🔥 As our first psychological-horror experience, Deadwood PHOBIA masterfully blurs the lines between reality and VR, challenging players to overcome what terrifies them most. "We started with a fascinating premise: exploring common phobias, then pushing them to their extremes using immersive storytelling," said Michael Hampden, SVP Content & Creative Director. "Phobias that barely register with one player may leave another screaming. Each player enters with their own fears and phobias, creating a truly unique experience for everyone."

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way”. I had opportunity to share our journey with the EO team on how we started out, fought through bankruptcy, and scaled to $80m in annual sales. https://lnkd.in/gGDsTgsF

We hit the jackpot with our 3rd Annual Store Leadership Conference in Las Vegas! 🌟 This face-to-face time IRL has been essential for strengthening connections between store managers and store support staff. From dynamic workshops and presentations to celebrating our top performers, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect as a #team and prepare for a busy Q4. 🏆 The energy and insights shared were inspiring, thank you to everyone who made this conference a huge success.

Disclosing for the first time, an average US Sandbox VR corporate location in 2023 made $1.9M annually. And because we sell bytes, not atoms, we get software-level gross margins. Hitting this level of revenue across our dozens of corporate locations couldn't have been possible without vertically integrating and fine-tuning our business across product, content, operations, and marketing over the years (not to mention COVID becoming our forcing function to massive unit optimization). And that's why opening up franchising is exciting for us. On one end we have the historical and markets to back up our business. On the other end, the more locations we have, the faster we can accelerate innovation and content development, which further benefits every location. I've shared more on our growth and franchising here -  https://lnkd.in/gW2sMxGr
