# What is a SandBox Game? A SandBox is a type of game that imposes minimal character restrictions on the player so that he can move freely and change a virtual world at will. It has long played an important role in the creation of a [3D configurator](https://viscircle.de/?page_id=18591\&lang=en). Unlike a progression style game, a sandbox game emphasizes roaming and allows a player to select tasks. Instead of playing with segmented areas or numbered levels, a sandbox game usually takes place in a “world” to which the player has full access from start to finish. A sandbox game is also known as an open world or free roaming game. Sandbox games can contain structured elements – such as mini-games, tasks, submissions, and storylines – that players can ignore. In fact, the nonlinear nature of the sandbox game creates a challenge for game authors. For this reason, tasks and side missions usually follow a course in which tasks are unlocked after successful completion. The game types of the sandbox game are different. Massive multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) generally include a mix of sandbox and progression games and depend heavily on the emergence of interactive user gameplay to keep non-progression-focused players. ![](https://531648442-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M_Zj7f8Fzw-OJTldsft%2Fuploads%2F2ngJk4E3qcdpuERYHGL9%2F1__KFzTOUiwGM5UP2UBQkfBg.jpg?alt=media\&token=e822ee7a-cfd9-4352-ba76-e6a6f1f41a0d) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
