What we’re about
Come play a VR game in development and be a part of shaping its evolution. Game makers need feedback from players like you! For our in-person meetups, you do not need to have a VR headset of your own! Whether you're new to Virtual Reality or you basically live in the Oasis, your reactions and thoughts are welcome and valued.
For members who do own their own VR headsets, we have periodic virtual meetups in multi-player games like Walkabout Mini Golf. If you're a dev working on a multi-player project, we can give it a play test at one of these virtual meetups.
If you're a VR game dev yourself, you can share your work with other members and get plenty of useful feedback. Join us to schedule an in-person beta night.

See all- Pasadena - VR Double Feature!Hawg Heaven BBQ & Gastro Pub, Pasadena, CA
Thursday, June 19th, 6:00 - 8:00 pm, we're back in Pasadena at Hawg Heaven BBQ & Gastro Pub located right in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. It's another VR Double Feature: WALKABOUT MINI GOLF & BANJAX! Hawg Heaven has a full bar and serves up a menu of barbecue sandwiches, brisket and ribs, as well as Mexican and bar food options.
WALKABOUT MINI GOLF
One of VR’s best multiplayer games, Walkabout Mini Golf lets you get together with up to 8 friends for 18 holes on wildly imaginative courses like something out of Disneyland. The physics are highly realistic, but since this is VR there's plenty going on here that a real-life theme park could never offer. Have a look for yourself: https://youtu.be/Pcs3YnB0LPQ?si=7k5vmbdBbw-C8SFRAs always, you do not need your own headset to take part, but if you do have a Meta Quest, bring it along and you can join the game with your own headset. Haven't already got Walkabout? Here's a link to get it for 15% off: https://www.meta.com/appreferrals/Barliesque/2462678267173943
BANJAX
Resident VR game-in-development! Become a master of the Banjax, a magical flying disc that you'll send whizzing through the air to meet its target. Once, a dark wizard wove a fiendish spell to mesmerize and enslave all who came into contact with it. Travel the many worlds, and shatter artifacts of that curse with your Banjax. Befriend a creature named Ruellia, and fly on her back to other worlds where your skills of shattering will be put to the test.VR Double Features are free in-person events, showcasing one game in development that needs your play testing feedback, and one fully released game. There's always something new to enjoy!
ARE YOU A VR GAME DEVELOPER?
Banjax has been in development for about three years, by David Barlia (that's me!) The feedback I've garnered from playtesting at these events has been invaluable in making a polished, fun experience. I invite other XR developers to present their projects--please, don't be shy! The sooner you let people play, the sooner you can find out what needs work!VR Play Testers is presented by MugginsVR in collaboration with Pasadena XR**.
