Party Versus is more than just a party game— whether you’re playing Sticky Potato, Spike Attack, or Milky Way Moovers, there’s tons of fun and chaos to dive into in this wacky multiplayer experience. Play over a dozen goofy minigames (and the totally twisted versions too) that will leave you and your friends laughing your way to the coveted neon Party crown.
"Party Versus is all about creating unforgettable game night moments with friends and family, but in a way that’s never been done before by blending the real world with the virtual so you can play with anyone, anywhere. We can’t wait for players to experience the fun, creativity, community, and pure chaos that is Party Versus,” said Jesse Schell, CEO of Schell Games.
This highly social game is the next evolution to the standard, in-person game nights. Players hop into Party Versus and immediately go to the Party Lounge, and when the party kicks off, each player’s room merges into a cohesive mixed-reality environment. This reality-bending setup allows players to bring their real-world furniture into the action where they can bounce objects off of walls or duck behind their couch, creating an immersive and interactive experience that showcases the potential of mixed reality.
Here is a sampling of the many fun minigames in Party Versus:
-
Hot Potato: Rush to get hot potatoes out of your room before they explode! Since your friend’s room is now part of the game, toss one behind their bed or over their couch, make them work for it! The potatoes keep multiplying, guaranteeing a frantic finish.
-
Spike Attack: In this dodgeball-like minigame grab your ammo from spawn points all over your room but be ready to take cover! As soon as your opponents throw at you, the balls sprout spikes and can’t be caught anymore (only deflected!). Keep an eye out for high value Golden Balls that spawn near the center of the four rooms and time it right so you can grab them without being hit.
-
Pop Pals: In this fast-paced team-based balloon popping race, work together to pop your balloons faster. Order matters and the numbered balloons are split between your room and your teammate’s, so communication is key. Each balloon is worth points, but complete a set to get a bonus and trigger the next higher group to spawn.
