Wrecked: Get Your Ship Together

Wrecked: Get Your Ship Together is the living room party game for VR.

VR has some incredible games that are fully immersive for the one in the headset. But everyone else in the room sits around bored, waiting for their turn. We decided to make a game where those bystanders become active participants. We took cues from Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, but instead of having a manual, everyone gets their own digital game.
The core cooperative mechanic involves a series of instructions. Both Vive player and mobile players receive instructions and buttons on their devices. They must carry them out before a timer expires. However, the buttons for one person's instructions are likely on another's device. So users must communicate back and forth in order to complete them.

This provides an atmosphere of playful chaos and shouting. With our game, someone with a headset can invite their friends over to engage in a party experience, not just a spectacle.

Our game also offers a new mechanic for transportation in VR.
While players are physically sitting, they're digitally sitting in their hovercraft. In this mode, they can fly around world-scale planets. When they reach abandoned ships, they can dock with them and physically stand up, thus exiting their cockpit and entering a space where they can experience room-scale VR.
