verb.
In video games, the act of abandoning/putting off your tasks or quests in order to just screw around with an immersive and in-depth game world. Examples of "sandbox" games are Oblivion, the Grand Theft Auto series, and pretty much every single RPG or MMORPG out there. The opposite of a sandbox game would be a "linear" game.
1. "I'm going to go sandboxing in GTA for awhile."
2. "The best thing about Morrowind is the huge world for sandboxing in."
