1. sandbox

   A sandbox is typically a safe, controlled environment within a software system where new code, applications or programs can be tested, manipulated or experimented with, without affecting the main system or software. This concept can also be extended to gaming, where a sandbox game refers to a game with an open-world environment where players can modify the game world and make various choices. The term originally came from the physical "sandbox" used by children in play, allowing them to create and manipulate within a contained, safe environment.
