The Voice Coach Battle: the TV game becomes Web3 in the Sandbox metaverse
The new Web3 game “The Voice Coach Battle” on the Sandbox metaverse, offers players the opportunity to become real coaches of the celebrities of ‘The Voice’.
And indeed, it starts with a blind audition and, as the contestants perform, the player will choose their artist by pressing the iconic red button. This is where the Web3 game inspired by the television show begins.
Regarding the partnership, Arthur Madrid, CEO and co-founder of The Sandbox, stated:
“The Sandbox is a center for creativity, discovery, and self-expression, making it naturally the perfect place for “The Voice”. We are excited to collaborate with them and bring the energy of the show into the digital realm. We can’t wait to see players truly shine when they take on the roles of their favorite coaches”.
Jurian van der Meer, EVP Brand Licensing, Global Partnerships, ITV Studios stated:
“Following the fact that ‘The Voice’ has been named Franchise of the Year in K7 Media’s ‘Tracking the Giants 2023’ report, in addition to the recognition for having the most active versions in 2023, our collaboration with The Sandbox for the launch of ‘The Voice Coach Battle’ represents an exciting step forward for our esteemed franchise.

According to Justin W. Hochberg, CEO of Virtual Brand Group, now is the time for the show on Sandbox, stating that the future of entertainment is here.
Even Hackatao has chosen The Sandbox
Recently, even the visionary Web3 artist duo, Hackatao, seems to have chosen The Sandbox metaverse to launch the reimagined story of their new NFT game “HACK the TAO”.
The new game arrived last April, is a surreal game that involves metaverse, crypto, and NFTs.
Specifically, the hypnotic game of “HACK the TAO” is set in a dream world inspired by the story of the artist duo and their artistic journey in the crypto world.
Unlike The Voice Coach Battle, here players will instead have to overcome various levels, with the goal of restoring the balance of the Universe (TAO) and defeating the forces of centralization.
