About Fruit Golf

Ever dreamt of putting a pineapple down a pirate ship while your friends go full sabotage with sharks and exploding barrels? Fruit Golf is a delightfully chaotic, asymmetrical multiplayer VR party game that’s all about fresh fun with friends. It takes the familiar rules of mini-golf and turns them on their head, replacing the ball with various types of fruit, each with its own unique physics and handling.

The core of the Fruit Golf experience is its innovative approach to multiplayer. Breaking the isolating barrier of many VR games, Fruit Golf only requires one headset for a full party. The VR player takes on the role of the golfer, while others jump into the game as saboteurs on their mobile phones or tablets. These saboteurs can deploy a zany arsenal of obstacles to aid or disrupt the golfer, leading to hilarious and unpredictable moments. The game is designed for laughs, surprises, and friendly competition, making it the perfect VR party game.

Key Features

  • Asymmetrical Multiplayer (1-4 Players): Play with friends in any mix of VR and mobile devices. All you need is one VR headset for the whole party.

  • Pass-and-Play Party Mode: Share one headset for the full experience. Take turns golfing in VR while everyone else acts as saboteurs on their phones.

  • Co-located AR Magic Window: In the same physical space, mobile players can use AR technology to see into the VR world, enhancing the feeling of shared play.

  • Physics-Based Fruit: Choose from a variety of fruit balls, from heavy watermelons to nimble lemons, each affecting strategy and gameplay.

  • Mobile Mayhem: As a mobile saboteur, place wild obstacles and traps on the course to mess with the golfer's plans.

  • Expanding Universe: Launching with two themed cups (Raisin Ridge and Citrus Seas), with a new course planned for release every three weeks, starting with the haunted "Chateau Vampoire."

  • Unlocks & Customization: Complete challenges to unlock new avatars and wacky clubs to show off your style with every swing.
