Puppet Fever is a game on the Oculus Quest that we've had some fun with. It's like charades but with a theatrical/puppet spin on things.
You pick a card from 2 options and then you have to use puppets and props to act out the card for others to guess. The person wearing the Quest can see all the props behind the scenes but the people guessing can only see a stage with whatever the player puts up there. We cast it onto the TV so everyone can see easily.
The above picture shows Val trying to convey the card 'Dreaming' to us. And the below picture is JD attempting to portay 'Werewolf'. Some of the cards are really tricky as you only have a certain number of props so it's hard to find what you want in the time. The music gets faster and slightly frantic as the time runs out which gets a little stressful.
It's a funny game made funnier by some of the cards you have to act out. There's an option to include risque cards too which we haven't tried yet. I did a fantastic portrayal of Brokeback Mountain which JD said he'd got a picture of but mysteriously it vanished. I think he's jealous of my skills.
It's a game that's easy to play for people of all ages. JD said it'd be better with difficulty settings for different people. Some cards are too easy but some are really tough. More props wouldn't hurt either. But overall it's a good family game we all enjoyed.
Ratings: Emma - 4, JD - 3.5, Val - 5 and Erin - 4.
