Dear Hypercube Friends,

The year 2015 has now been sealed,
And a new Hypercube has now been revealed,

With interactive experiences that will blow your mind.
So why don't you come on by and take some time

To feed your head with magical delight
With VR, games, and projections so bright.

Enjoy good food, best friends, and hipster craft beer,
I hope y'all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

👍 (http://emojipedia.org/thumbs-up-sign/) Sneaky Cactus by Nick Crockett

Living cacti serve as your controller in this stealth-racing game for two players. Touch a cactus to give your character a jolt in the right direction, but watch out for juice-slurping bugs that will hunt you down and make you wilt!
