However, it also contains a diverse range of attractions for the entire family. Whether taking a walk in Kowloon Park, exploring museums, going shopping or grabbing a bite to eat – Tsim Sha Tsui has something for everyone.

- happyyytravellerSingapore, Singapore271 contributionsLeading VR game service providerSandbox VR is pretty well established in Asia, I have tried their games in Singapore. This Hong Kong Center provides consistent service as the one in Singapore, and the price point is similar at HK$288 per person per game. We played Amber Sky, and had weapons to hold on to for shooting and there was wind blowing at us at times to simulate the scenarios when we were up in the sky. I recall that the jacket would vibrate too if we were hit but maybe my jacket wasn’t working that day - my point is that it can be pretty immersive 4D kind of experience if everything works. They impressed me with their quick turnaround to generate a video right after you have completed the game. We rested for about 10mins before they came over with our scores & a recap video of the game play which was sent to our email. Nice momento. I think VR gaming technology is still being improved so it will get better and cheaper with time, someday we’ll be closer to the movie Ready Player One.Visited January 2020Travelled with familyWritten 4 January 2020
- TheOExpress🏴🇭🇰Hong Kong, China4,470 contributionsDeadwood Mansion is AMAZING!Beyond some basic gameplay on PS4 titles and some some pretty poor shoot ‘em up on a stag do, my VR experience was non-existent and I wasn’t really that bothered about the idea...before I played this. Now I am planning on returning as soon as possible to play the other titles. Deadwood Mansion was intense, exhilarating and utterly, joyously fun. We all loved it!Visited April 2021Travelled with friendsWritten 14 April 2021
- Rosh145London, United Kingdom883 contributionsAwesome experienceA great experience in which you feel fully immersed in. Great to try as a couple or with up to 6 friends. We tried Davy Jones, but they have 4 other games (which we will definitely go back to try). The staff are very helpful and are there to support/supervise you throughout the game. Aiden in particular was very helpful, he even sent us video footage of us after.Visited March 2020Travelled as a coupleWritten 22 March 2020

Bureaucratic, stiff and unfriendly - knows nothing about customer service. Horrible experience and will never come again after being here repeatedly.
Came to change my reservation.
Sandbox: “our policy is that once you booked your date and time it’s unchangeable”
Me: “ok but your timeslots are wide open can I just push an hour?”
Sandbox: “We cannot do that because the system locks itself and nothing can be changed”
Me: “What if we just come an hour late you just leave the reservation as is?”
Sandbox: “we can’t because the system shuts off the reservation”
Me: “you can’t manually change anything?”
Sandbox: “no”
Experience itself is fine. Staff service ok, but the whole reservation experience was robotic and infuriating.
One star so that this gets management attention.

This is my first VR game experience. Location is prime at the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui. Deadwood Valley, a first-person zombie hunt, is a thrilling and entertaining experience. Choosing your weapon to defeat endless waves of crawling beasts is great fun. The only down side is the technical issues we faced during the play. Fortunately staff is polite and helpful.

This was our second visit. The operators were extremely helpful in recommending different VR experience for different age groups. Thy also sanitized the equipment and we felt safe to play.
The actual VR game lasts for about 20-30 minutes, and afterwards they prepare videos of our sessions. They edit the videos immediately and these are good memorabilia of the experience. There is no additional charge and we receive a private link for downloading.
There is a minimum height requirement though as the equipment are fairly bulky and are not light in weight. Amber Sky was suitable for tweens - exciting without extreme violence.
Sandbox is located immediately opposite from Tom Lee (the music store) and is a few minutes walk from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station.

Our party of two had a great time doing the Star Trek experience. Look for the right elevator (not hard to find, but we made a quick assumption and ended up in the wrong one. :)
As soon as we walked in, our experience started. They got us set-up and then we were in!
The visuals were great, the story line was strong, the sensitivity of the VR equipment was very good, and we had a very fun experience.
Thanks! We will be back!

It’s so hot for outdoor activities in Hong Kong now, it’s one of the best activity to play with with friends. Apart from the nice virtual experience, the sound effect is also nice as well.
I will definitely come again with friends!

Our youngest was 10 when she did it.
I think much younger would be an issue because of the size of body gear and the adventure themselves which could be quite spooky for much younger children

We went to go here last night and the man in the foyer operating the lifts said that sandbox is closed. I asked if it is opening tomorrow night and he said it is closed and gone, doesn’t know if it will re open. I seems very weird as there are reviews from 2 days ago. Can anyone confirm sandbox is still open? Also do you have to have a group of 4 as there is only two of us?

Hello, seems that they provide it only in TST now, suggest to contact them directly to ask if they provide it on island ( they did it one month ago).
