The Sandbox Brings Back Dinosaurs with 50,000 SAND Up for Grabs

Jurassic World Roars into The Sandbox

The Sandbox is back with a big event. To celebrate the new Jurassic World movie, the platform has reopened its Dinosaur Preserve. This time, players can win part of a 50,000 SAND prize pool (worth around $12,000) and collect rare dinosaur eggs. These eggs are NFTs, and they come with their own surprises. Players can join quests, pick up collectibles, and unlock digital rewards in a dinosaur-filled world.

The Jurassic World Movie Premiere Event started in early July. Inside The Sandbox, players can take part by entering the Dinosaur Preserve. The goal is to complete quests and earn Ethos Points (EP). Each completed quest gives one EP. You need 20 EP to qualify for rewards. You don't need to own an egg to join. Anyone can play. Just explore the Preserve, help out staff, and get your 20 EP before the event closes.

Dinosaur Egg Raffle Details

Once you earn 20 EP, you’ll be entered into a raffle. There are 1,151 dinosaur eggs available. Each one is an NFT that can be hatched into a dinosaur later. The prize pool includes:

• 1 Legendary Egg
• 10 Epic Eggs
• 40 Rare Eggs
• 100 Uncommon Eggs
• 1,000 Common Eggs

Each player can win one egg. Before the SAND prizes are awarded, eggs will be distributed. Depending on how rare the egg is, winning one also puts you in line for further benefits. To win, you aren't required to have any NFTs prior to the competition. Just play to enter the raffle.

You can enter the SAND reward pools if you have a dinosaur egg or hatched dinosaur in addition to earning 20 EP. The rarer your egg, the more SAND you can get. Here’s how the rewards break down:

• Common Egg holders split 5,000 SAND
• Uncommon Egg holders split 7,500 SAND
• Rare Egg holders split 10,000 SAND
• Epic Egg holders split 12,500 SAND
• Legendary Egg holders split 15,000 SAND

If you have more than one egg, you can join more than one prize pool. This rule applies even if your dinosaurs aren’t hatched yet. All players who win eggs through the raffle will be included automatically.

Got an egg? You can go further. Head to the Research Lab inside The Sandbox. This new zone lets you hatch eggs into baby or adult dinosaurs. You can also grow and care for them. Each dinosaur is different. That means every hatching is a new adventure. The lab brings a fresh layer of gameplay to the event.

Jurassic World entered The Sandbox in March 2025. The launch came through a partnership with Universal Products & Experiences and Amblin Entertainment. It happened during Alpha Season 5. This marked a major addition to The Sandbox. Jurassic World joined other big brands like The Walking Dead and Attack on Titan.

The first Jurassic game, Dinosaur Preserve, put players in the role of Dinosaur Protection Group members. You could encounter several dinosaurs, gather eggs, and run a virtual Arizona sanctuary. Eggs from herbivores were free. On Polygon, carnivore eggs were NFTs.

The Sandbox published LAND plots with a Jurassic World theme in addition to the game. An extra Creator Asset Pack was given to buyers. It included props and dinosaurs. Users were able to create their own unique Jurassic experiences as a result. Players found it simple to construct new games or situations with these tools.

Dinosaurs have always sparked wonder. Now, The Sandbox lets players step into that world. You can explore, play, and win. Whether you're here for the rewards or just to see the dinosaurs, there's something for everyone.

The last day of the event is July 23. Following that, SAND and NFT awards will be distributed. This is a fantastic time to try it if you haven't already. The Sandbox is free to play on Windows and Mac. Visit sandbox.game to join Jurassic World: Dinosaur Preserve and start your journey.
