Party Versus: A Fun Introductory Experience for Social Mixed Reality on Quest 3

Get Ready to party: Schell Games Brings ‍Mixed Reality Fun‍ to Quest 3

Schell Games, the creators of VR hits like ⁤”Among ‌Us VR” ⁤and “I Expect You To Die”, have released ⁢”Party Versus“, a new mixed⁢ reality party game now available on Quest 3. This unique ‌title allows you and your friends to hang‌ out in a‍ virtual lounge or⁤ jump into ​one ‌of 16 exciting ⁢minigames. We recently ⁤spent time with ‍”Party Versus” before its launch, experiencing 40 minutes of its social gameplay alongside three Schell Games developers. the⁣ game recommends a 2m x 2m ⁣play space, allowing players to choose a⁣ corner of their room to display ‍other ‌participants during minigames. ‌Adding to the social atmosphere, players can spawn sparklers, wands, and glow sticks, creating a fun and vibrant setting.

Two Ways to Play:⁢ Quick Party or Party Playoffs

“Party Versus”⁤ offers ⁤two main modes. In ⁤Quick Party, you can select individual ⁣minigames, choosing between free-for-all challenges or cooperative fun. Each minigame includes ‌a⁣ “Twisted”⁣ variation that adds unexpected twists, like flipping another player’s ​room upside down, keeping every session fresh and exciting. For those looking for a⁤ longer experience, Party Playoffs ‍challenges‌ players ⁣to compete for the‌ Party Crown​ over six minigames.

Minigame Highlights: ‌From Hot potato to Pop Pals

Some minigames truly stood out during ‍our play session. “Hot Potato”,⁢ a‌ digital ⁤take⁤ on ⁢the classic party game, awards points to the player who manages to throw the virtual potato into another player’s room ⁤before it⁤ explodes. “Spike Attack” throws you into a dodgeball-style battle,⁣ with balls appearing across your virtual space.”Pop​ pals” requires strategic ⁤teamwork. Players must pop balloons in a specific order, ⁢but only one partner can see the number on their set of ​balloons, demanding clear⁢ communication and coordination. With⁢ its​ blend of social interaction and diverse minigames, “Party Versus” presents a unique​ and engaging experience for VR enthusiasts.

Party ​Versus:​ A First Look at Mixed Reality Multiplayer Mayhem

Schell Games, known for their innovative VR experiences, has unveiled Party Versus, a new​ mixed reality (MR) party game designed exclusively⁣ for the Meta Quest 3. The game, launching today ‍for $9.99, promises ‌an engaging social experience fueled by its unique use of MR technology. Party Versus takes advantage of its MR capabilities by incorporating the player’s physical surroundings into the gameplay. Minigames cleverly⁤ utilize scanned furniture, allowing players ‍to hide​ objects or use furniture for cover, adding an exciting layer⁣ of strategy. ⁢ “Thrown objects like the‍ hot ‍potato can be hidden ‌behind‍ scanned furniture, which adds some much-needed depth since you can get tactical in aiming,” noted a reviewer.

Immersive Multiplayer Action

One ⁣standout feature⁤ is Party Versus’s impressive integration of‌ full-body‌ avatars within the player’s ‍living room. This adds a surprising ⁢level of ​immersion‍ and presence to the social interaction, blurring the‍ line between the virtual and real​ worlds. ⁢While impressive, the developers‍ acknowledge the challenge ⁢of adapting to diffrent room sizes. Party⁤ Versus delivers on its promise of entertaining MR ⁢multiplayer‌ experiences. the minigames, while simple, offer fun and lighthearted competition,‌ enhanced by ‍the immersive social aspect. The game showcases the potential of ⁤MR for social interaction and provides a promising glimpse into the⁤ future of multiplayer gaming. ⁤

## Archyde Interview:



**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde! Today we have a very exciting Alex Reed, [Alex Reed Name], from Schell Games, the developers behind VR hits like “Among Us VR” and “I Expect You To Die”. They’ve just released a brand new mixed reality party game called “Party Versus”, available now on the Meta Quest 3. Welcome to the show, [Alex Reed Name]!





**Alex Reed:** It’s great to be here!



**Host:** I’m really excited to talk about “Party Versus”. For those who aren’t familiar, can you give us a speedy rundown of what the game is all about?



**Alex Reed:** “Party Versus” is all about bringing friends together for some laughter and competition in mixed reality. Imagine you and your buddies hanging out in a virtual lounge, then jumping into hilarious minigames where your real-world habitat plays a key role. We want it to feel like you’ve stepped into a wacky party,right in your living room.



**Host:** That sounds amazing! And the mixed reality aspect sounds really unique. How does that work in practice?



**Alex Reed:** The Quest 3’s cameras scan your room and integrate it into the game. So, you’ll see your actual furniture and surroundings while playing these over-the-top minigames. You can even use your real-world furniture as cover or hide things behind couches – it adds a whole new layer of strategy and silliness.



**Host:** That’s really cool!



Now, you mentioned minigames. Can you give us some examples of the types of minigames we can expect?



**Alex Reed:** Absolutely! You’ll find something for everyone. There’s “Hot Potato,” a classic party game, but with a VR twist. In “Spike Attack” it’s a dodgeball fight with virtual balls flying around your room! And then “Pop Pals” requires teamwork and dialog to chuck virtual balloons in the right order.



**Host:** Wow, those sound super fun! And what about social interaction? How does that work in “Party Versus”?



**Alex Reed:** Social interaction is at the heart of the game.You can hang out in a virtual lounge, chat, and even spawn sparklers or glow sticks to create a fun party atmosphere.



**Host:** That sounds awesome for creating that communal feel. Are there different modes to choose from?



**Alex Reed:** You bet! We have both “Quick Party” for jumping right into individual minigames, and “Party Playoffs,” where you compete for the Party Crown across six minigames.



**Host:** I imagine people are curious about how playing with friends who are physically present works versus those who are joining remotely. Can you tell us more about that?



**Alex Reed:** Some minigames are designed for local multiplayer, where players in the same room can interact directly. We also have options for online play, so friends who are afar can join in the fun too.



**Host:** That’s fantastic! So it caters to both kinds of social settings. And for our readers who are curious about trying out “Party Versus”, what’s your biggest selling point for them?



**Alex Reed:** “Party Versus” is all about bringing people together for spontaneous fun. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer or just looking for a unique party experience, the mix of mixed reality, minigames, and social interaction offers something for everyone.



**Host:** Thank you so much for your time, [Alex Reed Name]! I think you’ve got a real hit on your hands with “Party Versus.”
