About Sandbox Catalog

What is Sandbox Catalog?

Sandbox Catalog is an independent directory that lists sandbox games.

The goal is simple: help people discover cool sandbox projects without having to dig through DISBOARD or be in certain communities.

What Sandbox Catalog is NOT

  • We do not own or run any of the platforms listed (excluding Woozle, owned by Mentaiko.)
  • We are not affiliated with Roblox or similar platforms.
  • Being listed here does not mean a platform is 100% safe.
  • A directory for copyright infringement. Revivals aren't allowed here, sorry.

How listings work

Sandboxes can be submitted by the community and are reviewed manually. Some tags are informational, while others are warnings.
