8 places for VR gaming in Singapore
1. Sandbox VR Singapore
Sandbox VR Singapore has one-upped the VR gaming scene with a full-body rig for a fuller immersive experience.

Those who enjoy fantasy can check out Seekers Of The Shard: Dragonfire or defend the world against an alien invasion in Amber Sky 2088. These games might be a little too intense for the younger ones but the teens will definitely have a blast. Plus, Sandbox VR is right in the heart of Orchard so you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to a meal after you’re done.
