Since Builders Challenge 1, I have been submitting the request form for my experiences to be Featured on the Sandbox homepage. However, so far I have not received any response, neither in BC1 nor in BC2.
In BC2, I have adopted the habit of filling out and submitting the form daily for each of my experiences, but I still do not receive any kind of response. So, I would like to know if there is any specific criteria or details of the game that would allow an experience to be featured. I’m also wondering if it’s possible that I’ve been filling out the form wrong all this time.
Understanding the criteria for being featured would not only benefit me, but also other creators looking to increase the visibility of their experiences in future events, BC3, etc.
*If any of my experiences do not meet the requirements Sandbox expects to be featured, it would be appreciated to receive a response message mentioning that it will not be possible. Any feedback would be welcome.
*I will continue to fill out and submit the form twice a day, hoping to receive some response, either positive or negative. Even if it’s just to tell me “dude, what you’re doing is annoying, stop it already” 
, any response would be very appreciated.

Hello, i would like to share with you my experience when my XP Geometry Uprising was selected to be featured.
So first, I also submitted the Feature Request only once. I never spam the request form because I know it would not make any difference. I also don’t expect them to respond on my request because I know there were like 100s of request they received every week.
Instead, I constantly post on social media about my XP, tagging people part of TSB Team or connected to TSB so it would get easily noticed by the team or the personnel incharged of the Feature XPs. After 2 weeks since I submitted my request, I received an email from TSB asking the same information I have submitted on the Feature Request. Perhaps they missed checking if I have submitted a request to get featured or because the form is full of spam entry so they decided to reachout the creator via email instead?
Here’s what I learned for your XP to get higher chance to get featured:
- Don’t spam the feature request. It won’t make any difference, infact it gets easily ignored.
- Post more on socials. Tag TSB staff you know so your XP gets noticed.
- Consider crafting an engaging First Time User Experience (FTUE) to help attract and retain players. I think this is the most important criteria of your XP. They mostly chose simple, easy to understand games and tutorials.
- Create something different, something new to Sandbox platform, new mechanics, new use of camera, new genre, and not just ordinary multiplayer games. A good example is Manifesto and 100 logos by BEM.
This is just coming from me and based on my observations, I hope it helps you somehow. Let’s wait what TSB Team will respond to you.

Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience and for the tips.
I agree that improving social media presence is key to increasing the visibility of our experiences, and it’s definitely something I’m trying to learn and improve on, so your tips are a great help.
As for the forms, I admit that now I’m a little worried that, after submitting so many, the system will tag my mail and it may be going straight to the spam folder. I’ve been thinking this past, might be my bad.
If that is the case, that I am being sent directly to spam, it would be helpful to know how I could fix this situation. I’ve also been filling out other non-BC2 forms, and I’m concerned that those are also being sent directly to spam. 
I completely understand what you mention about the amount of experiences that must be sending forms, which could certainly saturate the emails of those in charge.
But I still believe that the form is there for a reason and if somehow TSB goes and checks the social networks of the experiences to review content, it would be good to know. Other than TSBCreator I don’t know of any other active BC2 member to tag while using X as the primary way of outreach.
Thanks for your feedback and for taking the time to respond.
