6 itemsAbout the Game
This isn't a game. Richie’s Plank Experience is a psychological experience that your visitors and guests will react to with exhilaration, fear or laughter. For the VR veteran, even more entertainment comes watching the reactions of others.
Health and Safety
This game invokes a near-instant emotional reaction. Due to the nature of virtual reality, this experience can set you off-balance and affect your decision making. The following safety guidelines will reduce the risk of serious injury or harm.
You're on a plank, 80 stories high. Knees shaky, palms sweaty. Do you walk or do you freeze?
Richie's Plank Experience is the only VR experience that lets you clone a real-world object into the virtual world for added immersion. Yes, you can adjust the length, width, height and orientation of the in-game plank.
It’s not just a plank.
There’s something for everyone. In Hero Academy, you can:
fly through the city in Rocket Race;
save the city in Missile Defense;
and extinguish fires in Fire Fight!
Is that it?
The Sky Brush level will slow you down with a zen-like skywriting experience and if you are an adventurous adult, try the infamous Nightmare Mode in the hidden elevator panel.
