Common Questions

Does it cost anything to play?

This is the game designer's choice:

  • Many free-to-play (F2P) games

  • Players must own a specific NFT or one from a specific collection to access:

    • exclusive gameplay or bonus features within an Experience

    • all gameplay in an Experience

Can I earn SAND while I play?

The Sandbox is designed to support a circular economy where players:

  • May earn SAND and NFT rewards through Play&Earn mechanics

  • May use SAND to buy avatars and equipment to enhance gameplay and support creators

  • May use SAND to buy required NFTs to enter Experiences with exclusive content

Can I create or destroy terrain blocks or objects during play?

Our platform empowers creators to customise gameplay so that every Experience is unique with its own set of gameplay mechanics.

Here are just a few creative possibilities:

  • You may play multiplayer cooperative/competitive games or singleplayer games

  • A variety of game types are possible with a unique player HUD per game

  • Gameplay mechanics can be fully customised, which can affect how blocks and objects may be interacted with, how teams logic and resources are set up, etc.
