Two Point Campus: Fun Things To Do In Sandbox Mode

Sandbox mode is fairly easy to unlock in Two Point Campus, and it allows players much more freedom when it comes to creating their dream university campus. With four different modes, it introduces new challenges to experienced players and removes restrictions for players who want to have a more relaxing experience.

There are so many fun things players can do in Sandbox mode. From creating a wild party campus to designing a knight/wizard/jock school mashup, Sandbox mode extends Two Point Campus way beyond the main game. Here are just a few of the things players can enjoy in this mode.

9 Choose Any Campus

To unlock Sandbox mode, players must reach one star in the Noblestead campus, the fourth level of the game. Once this is unlocked, players have access to any university in the game in Sandbox mode.

This means even if players haven't unlocked all the levels yet, they can still access them right away. They can use the tools provided by Sandbox Mode to leap into some harder universities in the game, including the tricky Breaking Point.

8 Choose Any Combination Of Classes

In the regular game mode, players need to choose their courses carefully. The more courses players offer, the more campus requirements there will be. As with any Two Point game, spending too soon will create all kinds of problems later on, even with careful loan management.

Creative mode, however, gives players basically unlimited starting cash. This means they can create large, complex campuses with all different kinds of courses available. Train up wizards, spies, and knights all in one go. Why not?

7 Create Custom Challenges

Players can choose Custom mode, giving them access to the following settings:

Set custom cash and Kudosh levels
Set custom income multiplier and monthly allowance
Set campus temperature and Course Points
Set building modifiers (plots, items, upgrades, room and staff customization)
Set objective types (none, Variety, Academic, Financial, Social, and Staff)
Toggle staff requests, VIP visits, disasters, and invader challenges

This mode allows players to create their own custom challenges, right down to the last detail. Want to set up a freezing cold Spiffinmoore wizarding school with abundant course points and little cash? It's possible in Custom mode (although maybe not the best idea).

6 Remove Unpredictable Elements

Using Custom mode, players can remove all the elements of the game that throw a spanner in the works. Think of VIP visits, disasters, challenges, and staff requests. It makes the game a little easier, while still providing a certain level of challenge (depending on the other settings chosen by the player).

Alternatively, players can keep all these elements in place, or just remove some of them. If players really dislike random disasters, for example, they can remove those but keep everything else in place.

5 Play On Hard Mode

Challenge Mode is Two Point Campus for experts! Managing finances is difficult in the main game, and even more so in Challenge Mode. Players will:

Start with $150,000 and 30 Course Points
Have more of a challenge to make money each month
Have to unlock items and upgrades with Kudosh and Research

Highly stressful, but pretty rewarding. This mode is definitely for the completionists out there.

4 Enjoy Unlimited Funds In Creative Mode

If players want to create their ultimate dream university without having to worry about funds, this is the mode to pick. It includes:

Essentially unlimited funds and Course Points
Easier to make money each month
Everything unlocked from the start

One of the main frustrations of starting a new level in the main game is not being able to create the most logical layout straight away. That obstacle is gone with Creative Mode, so players can design a university campus that makes sense without having to worry about waiting for money to roll in (or taking out costly loans).

3 Design Custom Buildings

Two Point Campus allows players to create their own Campus Buildings. These can be any size and shape and can contain any room. This, along with the ability to create custom-shaped rooms, means players have the ability to create a campus from scratch.

This is helpful in some levels, like Urban Bungle, where there are 10 plots to choose from in varying sizes and shapes.

2 Focus On Student Happiness

In the main game, increasing student happiness isn't always the main priority. Managing the budget, upgrading courses, keeping staff happy, completing training, and unlocking new items and upgrades are also top of the list (as well as fighting the occasional wave of invaders and dealing with VIP visits).

In Sandbox mode (especially in Creative mode), the focus can be on the student experience. Players can create large, well-equipped dorm rooms, decent libraries, and student unions large enough to throw wild parties. Plus, unlimited funds provide access to whatever students request, from car booths to herb gardens. All in the name of helping students to reach their personal goals.

1 Throw Back To Back Parties

If players have the money for it, why not throw incredible parties for students? All parties are unlocked in Creative Mode, from the standard SU Party to the very entertaining Open Mic night.

Players can book artists to perform, including Boogie Knights, Helium Balloon, Shoegraze, and Jasmine Odyssey. Watching the students dance is one of the funniest (and most charming) parts of the game, so it's fun to make the most of it.

Two Point Campus is currently available on PC, macOS, Linux, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch.
