Overview

Talent Games is a cooperation between Enversed Studios and TMA; a company that specializes in skill and talent tests for professional work environments. This project aims to combine the TMA talent system with a gamified team escape room to allow teams to better use their talents in the best way possible

Up to four VR players on Oculus Quest(s) work together with at least one spectator on PC to solve puzzles together and gradually figure out the bomb disarm code.

Key features

Varied puzzles

12 completely different challenge modules exist in the environment - like a maze, climbing parkour and cutting wires in a correct order. Some can be solved solo by the VR player, others require coordination with the PC player.

Cooperative gameplay

Players must work together to make it out alive. All challenges encourage communication and teamwork in interesting ways.

Educational

Talent Games is designed to utilize players' TMA talent profile and be used within workshops, but is also used as an entertainment game in VR centers.
