Sandbox VR opens its Melbourne venue on 14 September 2026.

Virtual reality attraction operator Sandbox VR scheduled its new Melbourne location launch for September 14, 2026. The milestone is met if the venue opens to the public on this scheduled date.

They do not agree: DeepSeek puts it at 88% and Claude at 45%, 43 points apart. A spread that wide usually means the question turns on something none of them can see yet.
