After a long hiatus, The Sandbox (TSB) is now back with Alpha Season 4, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest and most intergalactic experience. Starting on October 9th, this ten-week-long event will take players on an immersive journey across the metaverse with over 100 unique experiences and $2.5 million USD in SAND tokens up for grabs.
What’s New in The Sandbox Alpha Season 4?
So, what can you expect this time around? While there are not many details yet, this season offers intergalactic adventures with various iconic brands and characters. Fans of Attack on Titan, Terminator: Dark Fate, and Captain Laserhawk (by Ubisoft) are in for a treat, with themed experiences that put you right in the heart of their universes. And that’s just the tip of the asteroid.
Other big names making their way into S4 include Gordon Ramsey’s Hell’s Kitchen, Playboy, and Solo Leveling. Whether you’re navigating deadly terrains, solving candy puzzles in Cut the Rope, or belting out tunes with The Voice, there’s something for everyone.
For all the action-packed fans, you’ll even get to face off with Hellboy, courtesy of Lionsgate. It’s like a theme park packed into a metaverse—with all your favorite characters thrown in.
Prizes and Rewards—What’s at Stake?
It remains to be seen how the $2.5 million SAND rewards will be distributed. If past seasons are any indication, completing quests, winning Alpha Passes and leaderboard spots, and engaging with various experiences could earn you plenty of SAND tokens.
If you’re quick, The Sandbox also offers a free limited-time NFT, the Gold Space Helmet, for anyone who pre-registers and completes their KYC before the season starts.
To claim the helmet, make sure you create an account on The Sandbox platform and finish your KYC verification. You can find more details and reserve your spot here.

What Are The Sandbox Alpha Seasons?
For those who may not know, The Sandbox Alpha Seasons are massive, multi-week events where players explore the metaverse, complete quests, and interact with other players while earning rewards through gameplay. Think of it as a sandbox (pun intended) where you can test out new features, enjoy collaborations with major brands, and score some digital loot.
Each season has evolved, with more immersive experiences and better rewards. It’s also a way for the team to gather feedback and refine The Sandbox metaverse for its eventual full launch. The Alpha Pass, an NFT ticket, grants full access to all these experiences and the potential to earn exclusive in-game rewards. In the past, Alpha Passes were given out via raffles, social media contests, or purchasable on NFT marketplaces like OpenSea.
A Look Back at Past Alpha Seasons
- Alpha Season 1 (Nov 2021): This was the big debut, offering 18 unique experiences and giving out 1,000 SAND tokens as rewards. Exclusive NFTs like the Alpha Dragon and Alpha Sword were also up for grabs.
