The best Oculus games for kids
The Oculus Store is chock-full of incredible virtual reality gaming experiences. In this Oculus Quest 2 games for kids guide, we’ll break out some of the best ones (including some of our own).
ForeVR Cornhole
ForeVR Cornhole is a simple and fun VR game that anyone can play. The rules of the game are pretty simple: each player has to throw a beanbag onto a rectangular platform with a hole in the middle. Landing the beanbag on the platform will get you one point, while throwing it into the hole will earn you three points.
Additionally, other players can hit your beanbag off the board, causing you to lose points.
VR cornhole takes this backyard game to new heights, with a rooftop level that will blow your mind, and hilarious bags that meow and splatter cheese when thrown. Kids can face off with NPCs, or duke it out with their parents. ForeVR Cornhole is kid-friendly VR gaming that was made for family game night.
Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs
Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs is an immersive VR game where Red, Chuck, Bomb, and the Blues attempt to save stolen eggs. The game has more than 100 fun-filled levels, starting with serene “Vacation Levels” with exotic beaches, cliffs and snowy slopes, and then progressing slowly onto more challenging “Spooky Levels”, all the while trying to defeat the evil pig boss, Dr Frankenswine. The game uses classic Angry Birds gameplay elements to progress and earn the best score, and is clean and appropriate for kids of all ages.
ForeVR Bowl
ForeVR Bowl is a VR bowling game that’s family-friendly and perfect for kids. The levels are detailed and immersive, right down to the working arcade games and jukebox, and the game mechanics feel just like bowling in real life — minus the borrowed shoes.
Kids can game against NPCs, or battle it out online with their friends and family. Awesome effects turn up the action on conventional bowling — you can even bring your spin shot to the lanes and show them a thing or two.
Acron: Attack of the Squirrels!
Check out this engaging multiplayer VR game where golden acorns are under attack! Whether you protect them or steal them depends on your role: an extraordinarily protective tree. or sly and tricky, thieving squirrels. This is a game that’s competitive as well as cooperative, it’s a definite party favorite.
Tentacular
The story starts like this: A giant octopus discovers he was adopted from his human sister on his sixteenth birthday. To complicate his situation, he also has to find a job to keep the residents of his home island, La Kalma, off his back. In Tentacular, kids can become the octopus and get to the bottom of your mysterious origins while helping your human friends research a strange and incredibly powerful energy source.
Cook-Out
This game is set in a cook’s shack in a fairytale forest, where you and your kids will have to work to fulfill the orders of a hungry group of enchanted creatures. As you make your way forward in the game, in addition to preparing the meals, you also have to fight off customers who are determined to make things difficult for you, like jesters and thieves. This game is available for co-op or single player play, so kids can play on their own, or with mom and dad.
Dance Central
Ready to get your kids moving? Dance Central will help them burn off that extra energy. The game features hit songs from the 1970s on, and as such, there is a bit of language to watch out for in the lyrics. Other than that though, it’s a gamified dance party that’s a great way to get a screen-loving kid on their feet without an argument.
There are three modes in the game – you can choose to dance to songs (Perform It), battle against other players (Crew Up), or learn new moves and practice old ones (Break It Down).
