5 Games with Oculus Rift

Inspiration

Oculus Rift escape games came from the desire to experience video games in a virtual reality. In 2012 the American company Oculus has developed new technology that allows users to experience, physically interact, and collaborate in a virtual 3D environment using motion capture technology. Now this equipment became a must-have and is used by some entertaintment companies.

Oculus Rift is a new experience for those who are fond of escape games! Such games can be different: you can sit in a VR headset or Oculus Rift can be one of the equipments in an escape room. The one thing you need is a team of 2-5 people and about €13-16 per player.
