ITV Studios has teamed up with Reality+ to launch the “Tracy Island Sandbox Experience,” taking fans of the Thunderbirds TV show further into the metaverse.

The limited-time Tracy Island event in the Sandbox Metaverse will run for two weeks from March 13, giving fans the opportunity to join forces with their favorite “Thunderbirds” characters to take on quests in and around the famous top-secret International Rescue HQ. 

The “Tracy Island Sandbox Experience” consists of 15 quests and mini games with Easter eggs and information about the original TV series. Leveraging the benefits of Web3, fans can also browse the various digital collectibles, including a huge gallery takeover in the Thunderbird 2 hangar and a voxel exhibition curated by Lady Penelope.

As part of the game’s play-to-earn mechanic, players will have the chance to win a slice of The Sandbox’s monthly prize pool fund (1,150,000 SAND, The Sandbox Experience currency, equivalent to $604,000), plus mystery gifts.

“It’s a tremendous honor to be working with ITV Studios, not only to help them push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of Web3 entertainment, but for the opportunity to take such an iconic TV show on an exciting new journey with its fans,” says Tony Pearce, co-founder, Reality+. “We have already achieved so much with Thunderbirds: International Rescue Club, and with fantastic partners like The Sandbox there’s much more to come.”

“We are super excited to work with Reality+ and The Sandbox team to take the next step in our partnership and bring Thunderbirds to The Sandbox,” says Lucie Stoffers, head, brand and licensing global entertainment, ITV Studios. “This will allow Thunderbirds fans from around the world to discover Tracy Island and complete new Rescue Missions, as well as get access to a bespoke NFT collection.” 

Last year, License Global reported ITV Studios had partnered with Reality Gaming Group to create the Thunderbirds: International Rescue Club, a utility-focused NFT community experience.
