The Sandbox brings another huge event to their growing ecosystem. The May Festival offers more events, more prizes and also coincides with their latest land sale!

The Sandbox brings us their latest major event, known as May Festival. It includes over 70 experiences to play, and 1 million in SAND tokens as rewards! This event runs from May 11th through June 12th and offers special rewards for both Land holders, Avatar holders, and even bonuses for other, partner NFTs.

May Festival Info

200 is the important number here. 200 quests to be more precise. Both land and avatar owners have a pool of 350k SAND tokens, to be split among those who complete at least 200 quests. In addition, any player who completes 200 quests during the May Festival event earns a Mystery Box. Mystery Boxes can contain SAND tokens, NFTs, and even premium land parcels!

The Sandbox is free to play, and offers experiences built mostly by third party land owners. You can participate and learn more at https://register.sandbox.game/may-festival

On top of all that, holders of certain collections will also have their own token reward pools! This includes separate pools of 20K SAND tokens for each of the following collections – Rabbids, Hell’s Kitchen, Madballs, Dancefight, and Steve Aoki. Another pool of 200K SAND tokens will be reserved for holders of NFTs from the Paris Hilton collection (coming soon)!

To earn rewards, players need to register with the Sandbox’s KYC system. They will also need to hold onto the related NFTs to earn from the special rewards pools.
