About the Game

Designed for explorers at heart, Atlas Obscura VR offers a treasure trove of inspiration, uncovering the unconventional and celebrating the world's hidden wonders. The app includes breathtaking visuals and detailed accounts of 50+ destinations from the beloved Atlas Obscura book, plus three fully interactive episodes that bring these locations to life with over 45 minutes of adventure.

Explore:

  • Winchester Mystery House (USA): Step into the enigmatic, sprawling mansion of Sarah Winchester in San Jose, California. A place of wonder and intrigue, this spooky mega-mansion was once the home of the widow of firearms magnate William Wirt Winchester.

  • Salina Turda Salt Mine (Romania): Descend into one of the world's most stunning underground formations. This awe-inspiring Romanian salt mine is a testament to human ingenuity and nature’s beauty.

  • Temples of Damanhur (Italy): Discover a subterranean marvel in the Italian Alps—a vibrant, living laboratory for the future, created by a federation of spiritual communities.

Atlas Obscura VR was originally developed and produced by Start VR (now Start Beyond) and is now part of the New Canvas immersive catalog.
