Sandbox VR Franchise Model Overview

Sandbox VR venues sell timed, group virtual reality experiences in which two to six players wear headsets and full-body motion tracking inside private game rooms called Holodecks, with a typical venue running four or five rooms in 3,900 to 6,800 square feet of leased retail space. Customers are mostly groups, parties and corporate outings booked through an online reservation platform. The build is heavy: a proprietary start-up equipment package bought from the franchisor plus construction and leasehold work push gross cost into seven figures, though the FDD notes tenant allowances have materially reduced out-of-pocket spend. Beyond the royalty, franchisees pay a per-player Experience Fee on content revenue and must spend meaningfully on digital marketing. An approved general manager must run the venue full time; the majority owner need not be on site. The system is overwhelmingly company-operated, and franchising is early, with franchised venues growing from two to ten over three years.
