The Sandbox Events
Information about events at The Sandbox.
Every now and again, The Sandbox may host limited-time events in the metaverse. Players can enjoy visiting many different experience during these events, and potentially earn rewards in the process for playing the event's experiences and/or holding certain NFTs.
If there are any events currently running, you can access them by clicking the "Events" link on the left-hand side of The Sandbox website.

On the Events page, you will see a list of the currently active events. You can then select an event to see more information about it, such as what the event is about, what potential rewards there are, and your progression towards completing that event.


Some, but not necessarily all, events will offer a variety of rewards to players. Such as:
SAND Tokens
- For completing the event requirements.
- For completing event requirements while holding particular NFTs.
- For completing social challenges.
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)
- For completing the event requirements.
- For completing event requirements while holding particular NFTs.
- For completing social challenges.
Mystery Boxes
- For completing the event requirements.
- For completing event requirements while holding particular NFTs.
Memorabilia Badges
- For completing the event requirements.
- If your NFT is an avatar, it will show under the "My Avatars" tab on that webpage.
- To purchase an avatar (or to see if an NFT is an avatar before buying it), click the Shop tab on that webpage. There is also a search filter and a keyword search tool in this tab.
Anybody who:
- Has an account at The Sandbox, and has completed or achieved all the requirements of that particular event.
- Has passed KYC (Know Your Customer) in their The Sandbox account settings.
- This is an anti-fraud measure, and there are no permitted exceptions to this.
- Is at least 18 years old.
- This is for legal reasons. Under GDPR, it is not permitted for a company to knowingly collect and store the data of a minor under the age of eighteen.
- Has not committed a violation of either the Terms of Use that they agreed to before they registered their account at The Sandbox, or the law. For example (but not limited to):
- Attempting to use third-party tools to gain an unfair advantage, including bots, automation software, and trainers.
- Attempting to utilise multiple accounts to gain an unfair advantage.
- Attempting to commit a criminal offence, such as fraud or identity theft.
- Is not from any geographical regions which have been specifically excluded from any particular event for any particular reason.
- This might be due to local laws and regulations in certain countries that affect certain rewards - such as Japan.
- This might also be due to international sanctions enforced by the United Nations (UN), North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), or the European Union (EU) - such as North Korea.
- The Sandbox has no control over international or local laws, regulations, or sanctions that may affect a player's eligibility to earn rewards.
- Unless specifically stated otherwise, you can potentially earn rewards from both the holder pool and the non-holder pool in events. As long as you completed the event requirements and held the relevant NFT in the correct wallet on the date of the snapshot.
- Before any rewards are distributed, all the potentially eligible participants go through an Anti-Fraud check, to ensure they did not attempt to gain any unfair advantages, violate the Terms of Use, or break any laws.
- Sometimes reward distributions may be delayed to a later date in some circumstances. For example, if there are a very large number of potentially eligible participants to review.
- We understand it is frustrating having to wait for rewards to be distributed. But think of it this way - the more people we find have violated the Terms of Use and are therefore not eligible for rewards, the greater the value that your own reward will be, since the available pool isn't being wasted on those who tried to get an unfair advantage over you.
- Sometimes, for example when rewards are designed by a partner or third-party, there might be a delay in the partner sending their rewards and list of selected winners to The Sandbox to distribute, for reasons that are their own.
- If the rewards were distributed very recently, please be a bit more patient. Some rewards have to be distributed in "waves", for example due to the differences in smart contracts or due to a very large number of eligible participants.
- If it has been a few days after the reward was distributed, you're welcome to open a support ticket on Zendesk or Discord. See this page for more information (click).
- The most common reasons for players not getting rewards are:
- 1.The player did not fully complete all the event requirements. For example, not collecting enough EP.
- 2.The player did not fully complete all the experience requirements. For example, not completing 100% of the quests.
- 3.The player was not holding any relevant NFTs, like LANDs or avatars, at the time of the snapshot, if there was a holding requirement.
- 4.The player committed a violation of the Terms of Use that they agreed to before they registered at The Sandbox, whether intentionally or not. For example, attempting to use multiple accounts, attempting to commit fraud, and so on.
- 5.The player resides in a geographical region where they are not eligible for certain rewards due to their local laws and regulations, or sanctions. (Or set a VPN to such a region). For example, Japan.
Not necessarily.
A memorabilia badge is a form of Proof Of Attendance Protocol (POAP), which shows you attended the event and completed at least one quest in that event.
Earning rewards in events would require you to complete multiple quests to earn enough EP by the date the event ends.
So no, getting a memorabilia badge for an event is not an indication that you fully completed the requirements to get a reward in that event, it just shows that you attended it.
