Sandbox Launches BAYC Themed Metaverse Experience!

Sandbox and Metaprints are subsidiaries of Animoca Brands, with Metaprints focusing on being a Metaverse experience builder and Sandbox operating as a Web3 Metaverse platform. Together, these two organizations have collaborated to create a Metaverse gaming experience based on one of the most famous NFT collections, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC).

The Monkeying Around experience was introduced as a showcased project by the teams at Metaprints and Forj. Harry Liu, CEO of Forj and Team Leader at Metaprints, emphasized that this initiative demonstrates the fun and creative experiences that brands can create for their communities within the Metaverse.

The Metaverse experience is a unique adventure game set in a swamp-themed environment, and it is open for anyone to play. It is not necessary to own a BAYC NFT to participate in the event, but additional rewards are available for players who do own BAYC NFTs or Genesis MetaPrint NFTs. Furthermore, Bored Ape owners can use their unique PFP (Profile Picture) in-game.

A total of $30,000 worth of prizes will be awarded during the Sandbox BAYC Metaverse Monkeying Around experience. Winners will be selected based on their completion of in-game challenges and high scores. This initiative was recently launched as part of The Sandbox’s Alpha Season 3, which brought over 90 unique Metaverse experiences to the platform and introduced more than 22 new brands.
