Mega City 3 further broadens The Sandbox’s activities in education, art and culture, and entertainment, allowing it to offer endless possibilities for creativity, learning, and immersive experiences.

• Education: Top educational institutions, secondary schools, and the largest power company in Hong Kong will leverage the virtual world and society of The Sandbox to enhance creativity, promote Hong Kong's creative industry, and provide immersive learning experiences on design, technology, ESG, decarbonization and more to students and the general public.

• Art and Culture: The open metaverse allows established artists and IPs to create unique digital art that can be owned and utilized. In The Sandbox, creators have options such as virtual galleries, exhibitions, and performances to showcase their talents and provide opportunities for audiences to experience their work.

• Entertainment: Gaming companies use the open metaverse to create immersive gaming experiences using established IPs. Entertainment groups also leverage this technology to offer new forms of entertainment such as live concerts and performances. The Sandbox’s Mega City 3 offers endless possibilities for Greater China’s  and the broader entertainment industry.

The Sandbox has reserved a 3x3 LAND in Mega City 3 to facilitate collaboration between over 20 creative studios from Greater China, ranging from metaverse agencies, creative studios, to UGC builders.
