- The Sandbox innovates with formal awards in 2024.
- Diversity and global creativity stand out.
- Expansion of resources and challenges for 2025.
The big winners of the 2024 edition of The Sandbox Awards, an event that celebrates innovation and creativity in the metaverse community, have been revealed. According to PJ, program manager of the Game Maker Fund, this year the organization decided to “raise the bar a little bit”, maintaining the essence of the previous awards, known as Sandies, but with a more formalized approach.
The new edition of the awards aims to reinforce community involvement, counting on the participation of members to vote on the best experiences created by the users themselves. With 20 distinct categories, The Sandbox aims to encompass a wide variety of talents and creations within the ecosystem, from action and adventure to more niche experiences such as cooking simulations.

PJ spoke about the diversity of games that marked this year’s event, ranging from platformers to adventures that require skill and strategy. “We have creators from all over the world, such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, France, Argentina and Lithuania, contributing their unique visions to the metaverse,” PJ explained.
Among the highlights, the award for Best Action/Adventure Experience was given to the game Serenity, from the China-based developer Lululand. The game offers a journey through a surreal world, accompanied by the spirit of a “ghost girl lost in time”, and also won in the categories of Best Art Direction and Best Overall Experience.
Additionally, The Great Pyramid of Giza, developed by Taiwan’s ERM Labs, took home the award for Best Puzzle Experience. The game challenges users to unlock the secrets of the famous Egyptian monument.
