Experiences are playable content, such as games, with unique gameplay that is custom built by creators. You can play in social hubs, art galleries, solo adventures, multiplayer challenges, and more.
The Sandbox is constantly developing features so creators can build and publish new types of Experiences to enjoy.
Most Experiences include Quests for each player to complete. Your progression through these objectives will help you reach victory, and may even allow you to earn Ethos Points (EP).
During limited-time Seasons and Events for players, Ethos Points are usually a part of the requirements to earn rewards, such as SAND, NFTs, etc.
A list of Experiences to play appears at the bottom of an Event page with the number of Ethos Points you can earn from each one.
Experiences in an Event may be free to enter or require that you own certain NFTs to play.
The time period for the Event, your progress, and available rewards are clearly shown on the Event page. On this page, you can also see if any of the included Experiences require owning an NFT to play.
Some rewards are for LAND owners, some for NFT owners (including Avatars, equipment, passes, etc), and some are available for all players (meaning there is no cost to participate).
These may include one or more Experiences. There are filters for viewing events only for players, creators of voxel art and games, and for The Sandbox's official Game Jams.
The Events Map tab shows all of the Experiences available on the map, which includes any Events that are currently active.
Seasons are much larger, with a variety of Experiences to play over a longer time period to earn a large number of Experience Points. Some content may be free, and some may require owning NFTs to play.
Seasons offer high quality Experiences with famous brands and IPs to showcase the newest features developed in The Sandbox. Since they are much larger than Events, they happen less frequently.
For more details about Seasons and Events, including past Season details, visit:
Once Seasons and Events are closed, rewards can be distributed among participants who qualify.
Some rewards may be limited to the earliest players who complete the requirements, while some reward pools may be split evenly between all players who participated. Sometimes a raffle determines who will receive rewards. This information is all detailed on the Event's page or the Season page.
To check if you've earned rewards, see:
