What is the Game Maker?

The program you use to build and then publish experiences within The Sandbox Metaverse.

The Sandbox

If you don’t already know what The Sandbox is, let’s get you up to speed before jumping into covering the Game Maker!

The Sandbox is a dynamic virtual world that brings players and creators together to build, own, and monetize unique experiences in the Ethereum blockchain.

It’s a platform that gives you access to a multitude of games, environments, hubs, and interactions - all of which you can engage with using your very own avatar (playable character).

These experiences open up possibilities to explore, solve puzzles, defeat enemies, complete quests, and ultimately share those experiences with a thriving community.
