This partnership centers around creating global real-life escape room intellectual properties (IPs) within The Sandbox’s 12 x 12 plot of LAND called “Escape Room Metaverse (ERM),” which will serve as a gaming virtual hub for the most immersive and award-winning escape room experiences. Through the partnership, multiple gaming studios will collaborate to produce experiences for the ERM community within The Sandbox by developing digital infrastructure, game puzzles, game logic, architectural designs, and digital products. The partnership will enable offline escape room players to continue their gameplay online and experience a virtual escape room firsthand.

One of the most frequently asked questions about the metaverse is how it connects people in real life and what its use cases are. During ERM LABS first activation in Australia in partnership with MVcon and Metaverse Sydney, Wing Wu, the Founder of ERM LABS offered a unique response:
“The metaverse is a transition towards a more digitally immersive and interconnected existence, where the boundaries between physical and digital realities are blurred.”
This idea of interconnection between real-life and digital is a driving force for ERM LABS, as they begin to offer their disruptive web3.0 and metaverse solutions to all escape room partners, enabling them to convert their physical designs and creations into a digital scalable product. ERM LABS is a pioneer to reshape the future of Escape Rooms 3.0 focusing on the recognition of escape room IP ownership, by building an on-chain offline-to-online (O2O) integrated and creator-driven experience on the metaverse. Wing stated “As the largest owner of escape room IPs on the metaverse, we are proud to bring puzzle and game enthusiasts closer to their favorite global escape room gameplay, connecting them to an exciting metaverse experience.”
