Trap Your Friends offers local multiplayer fun with Quest 3 - try it for free!
Trap Your Friends turns your home into an MR obstacle course for multiple local Quest users at once.
Currently, there are very few mixed reality games that offer local multiplayer.
This type of experience allows multiple Quest users in the same location to see and interact with the same mixed reality content, opening up interesting new gameplay possibilities. With Shared Spatial Anchors, Meta provides its own API for this.
Titles such as Spatial Ops and Home Sports have already demonstrated the potential of local multiplayer experiences.
Trap Your Friends is another mixed reality game designed for this type of experience, and because it is still in development, you can play it for free.
What is Trap Your Friends about?
In Trap Your Friends, you set traps (laser barriers, arrow-shooting crossbows, swinging axes, etc.) around the room you are playing in. Your friends have to get past the traps to the other end of the room and press a red button. They can then set traps themselves. Each round, players can add another trap, increasing the challenge with each new round.
I briefly tried Trap Your Friends on my own and the app made a good first impression. The play area is customizable and the button can be placed anywhere in the room. Since I own two Quests, I'm excited to try out the mixed reality game with a friend soon.
There is also an online mode, but it is limited to a rectangular playing area. According to the developer, there is a single headset mode on the roadmap. I assume that the headset will be passed from person to person. However, this would mean that the game would lose some of its appeal. I don't just want to see my friends, I want to see the traps I set for them.
You can download Trap Your Friends for free from the Horizon Store. The game's Discord channel allows you to get in touch with the developer and community.
