How is the game played?

Each player will have their own dedicated room equipped with HTC Vive virtual reality gear. Put on your headsets and pick up your handheld controllers and be transported into the virtual realm. During the game, you’ll get to move around, search for items, collect objects and make plans with your fellow team members in other rooms. Each game lasts up to 45 minutes.

The high-tech HTC Room Scale Virtual Reality experience allows movements in the play areas to be tracked in the virtual world, enhancing the overall game experience.

What themes are there?

There are two exciting time travel missions that’ll bring you to back in time to historical periods such as ancient Egypt and the iconic moon landing. In Chapter 1, track down lost agents from the Alpha team and scout for top-secret information. In Chapter 2, fight against time and space to find a cure as the earth gets struck with a destructive plague.
