Announced yesterday at Facebook’s F8 Developer Conference, Hasbro Inc. is working with Oculus to bring virtual reality (VR) experiences for Boggle, Trivial Pursuit, and Monopoly to people with Oculus Go.
The VR games will be accessible in the Oculus Store, wherever Oculus Rooms is available for Oculus Go, across 23 countries. The launch of the games is a part of a major update for Oculus Rooms, an Oculus app that allows people to spend time with friends in VR while enjoying social activities such as playing games and watching TV. Oculus Go users will be able to play games head-to-head with friends in Oculus Rooms with life-like avatars in fully customizable environments. Boggle will be the first game to launch this June, and Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly will be released later this year.
With Oculus Rooms, people can customize their individual rooms with their own photos and personal touches. Once the player’s room is ready, they can invite friends to play games, watch videos, or jump into apps together.
Just like the classic Boggle game, users will be able to play with friends and family in this new virtual take on the 3-minute word search game.
