Fantail Games announced today that the upcoming mixed reality Game Night is coming to Early Access for Meta Quest devices on November 18th. Blending arcade action and multiplayer mayhem, Game Night features a series of riotously fun minigames each with their own unique MR hook to draw in players of all ages.
“We think that the real secret sauce of MR is in the social experience of playing with friends and family face-to-face together in the same room,” says Fantail Games founder Steven Linton. “These deceptively simple minigames capture the essence of the best sports and boardgames, mixing physicality, tactics and social interaction. The whole family can get involved and have a blast, running around the room without the risk of falling over furniture or getting motion sickness.”
Game Night will feature three minigames as it enters Early Access: Fishing, in which players must compete to scoop the most fish into the basket, Bouncing, in which players bat their balloon rabbits into carrots for points, and Slapping, in which the alien jelly menace must be contained. Supporting 1-4 players, each person can decide to work together or competitively for an experience that is as unique as the group they’re playing with. Additional minigames and features will be added as final launch on the Meta store approaches in 2025.
“My favourite moments testing Game Night have been when parents play with their kids,” Linton continues. “They’re all equally into it and connecting together in a way you just don’t get with any traditional game. It’s very refreshing in a world that is becoming increasingly disconnected by technology.”
