Fall has arrived and October is drawing to a close, and the end of October means Halloween is just around the corner.
On Halloween, children from all over the world will give full play to their creativity and transform into all kinds of ghosts and ghouls and go out on the street, knocking on other people's doors, shouting “Trick or Treat” in anticipation of the delicious candies.
Children's creative costumes are the biggest attraction of Halloween.
However, the fun of Halloween is not limited to real life; there are also various activities in The Sandbox.
Today, nspace has compiled a list of Halloween-appropriate gaming experiences that have been featured on The Sandbox to give you an idea of how these brands have built their experiences on The Sandbox, and what impact they've had through those experiences.
We will explore how these brands have built these special experiences on The Sandbox and how these activities have impacted the virtual world.

Zombie Road is a well-known American television series based on the comic book of the same name drawn by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adler.
The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a deadly virus of unknown origin has turned two-thirds of the world's population into bloodthirsty, flesh-eating zombies, who have begun to attack survivors.
The first nine seasons of the series centered on Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln.

The story follows Rick Grimes as he comes out of a traumatic coma, embraces the zombie apocalypse, and embarks on a quest to find his family, meeting other survivors of all shapes and sizes, as well as a large and diverse community of survivors, including a variety of unsuspecting enemies.
From the trailer for The Sandbox, we can see that The Sandbox has delicately recreated the post-apocalyptic scenes of the Zombie Road, and we can play as the protagonist, Rick Grimes, and experience the plot of the Zombie Road throughout the zombie world of The Sandbox.

When we enter the Zombie Road experience in The Sandbox, we'll also be able to see other characters from the Zombie Road.
For example, in Alpha Season 3's Zombie Road experience, as soon as we logged into the game, we were introduced to Michonne, played by Danai Gurira, who explained the situation and started the quest for us.

When we enter the Tinker Bell experience on The Sandbox, we can see the classic Tinker Bell village and other players roaming the experience as various Tinker Bell characters.
Here we can start a conversation with others, or go deeper into the virtual village to find each of the classic characters from the story.

For example, we can enter the room of Papa Smurf, a character who plays an important role as a guide in the world of the Blue Goblin.
Here we can start your own The Sandbox mission and get deeply involved in the storyline of the Blue Goblin.

This Halloween, you can log on to The Sandbox, dress up as the most unusual blue elf, and become a part of the village while enjoying the Halloween party.
Why are these brands building experiences on The Sandbox?
With popular shows such as Zombie Road and Blue Genius already capturing fans around the world, why would such hugely successful IPs invest in The Sandbox and build it for their fans?
According to nspace, there are several reasons:
1. Amplify the impact of the IP
In the past, when technology was less developed, programs could only be broadcast on large TV stations, such as Taiwan's old Channel 3 in the early years, and then Channel 4, which had more and more diversified programs, and now with the rise of streaming video and audio, such as NETFLIX and Disney+, all the well-known popular programs and movies can be broadcasted through computers and mobile phones and other devices.
The Sandbox also provides a platform for users to experience drama, only his experience is more in-depth and diversified.
Instead of sitting in front of a TV or computer and watching a program in a one-way interaction, we can experience the plot in a playful way in The Sandbox. Under the influence of the continuous advancement of modern technology, The Sandbox creates a two-way experience, which enables IPs to interact with users in a more in-depth way, and deepen the impression of the brand on the consumers.
2. Capture more global fans
Based on blockchain technology, The Sandbox is a decentralized, community-driven platform where everyone has the power to create their own NFTs on The Sandbox.
By participating in the production of IPs and utilizing the elements of the program's IP to create related scenes and equipment, The Sandbox is able to coalesce the community.
For example, this year, Zombie Road has launched a creative competition on The Sandbox.。

Anyone can create their own Zombie Road theme, and if your creation is recognized by the judges, you'll be rewarded with Sand Dollars.
By participating in these events and creations, the brand will not only be able to captivate fans watching traditional media or streaming video around the world, but it will also be able to attract game and creative enthusiasts to The Sandbox to learn about the IP, thus captivating more fans around the globe, all of which is what the brand will be able to do on The Sandbox!
