$500 to $1,000 all-in is a full player count, a package with a host and a private room, some extra experiences, and a food order. Get the player minimum, the gratuity and the taxable base in writing so the quote and the final bill agree.
What this assumes, and where it could be wrong
Every one of these is a place the number could be off. They are here because you should be able to check our working, not because we are hedging.
THE PACKAGE PRICE IS NOT THE PARTY PRICE, AND EVERY NUMBER HERE IS YOURS.
The player count is the biggest lever, and it can include the adults. The package and the extra experiences both scale per player, so a shorter list cuts two lines at once. Adults who want to play count as players too, which is where a head count quietly grows past the number of children invited, so agree in advance who is playing and who is only watching from the lounge.
A free-roam room holds a set number of headsets, so confirm the capacity before you count. Sandbox VR runs each experience as a group inside a private room, and that room is built for a set number of players at a time. A larger guest list may have to split into rounds rather than play together, which changes both the schedule and the count, so check the room capacity against your list before you set the number.
Extra experiences are the common upgrade, and they land per player. A base package buys a set number of experiences, and a group that wants more play time buys additional ones on top, priced per player. Decide the number of experiences before you arrive rather than at the desk, because a Sandbox VR party stays inside the number you planned when the experience count is settled up front.
Gratuity and tax apply on top, and the taxable base varies. Party contracts are commonly written with an automatic service charge for the host, and sales tax then applies to the food, the fees and often the experiences as well. Both are your own rates here, and the contract decides what is taxed, so read those two lines before you trust the total.
