Evaluation

VR Funhouse launched on July 14, 2016 as a free-to-play VR tech showcase from NVIDIA. After launch, the developer shipped two feature updates — version 1.1 adding modding support (September 1, 2016) and version 1.2 adding two new mini-games and accessibility options (October 5, 2016) — followed by the version 1.3 major content release on December 15, 2016, which added Steam achievements and a Winter Wonderland seasonal mod. The final communication from the developer was a small bug-fix patch (v1.3.1) on March 28, 2017, addressing a save file issue and a crash on exit. There have been no developer posts, announcements, or updates of any kind since March 28, 2017 — a gap of over nine years. No unreleased DLC exists on the store, no future content was announced, and the developer has made no statements about further development plans. The game appears to have concluded its update cycle with that final maintenance patch.

Step right up to VR Funhouse, and enter a virtual carnival full of fun and games. Set targets ablaze with flaming arrows. Test your skill shooting skeet. See how many moles you can whack, and much more. VR Funhouse combines virtual reality, cutting-edge NVIDIA VRWorks graphics, and advanced NVIDIA GameWorks effects to deliver a new level of interactive gameplay and immersion.

Key Features

VR Funhouse features seven mini-games set in a virtual carnival environment!

Test your skill shooting targets with a pair of pistols at the Shooting Gallery or take aim at moving targets shot from a skeet cannon.
Splatter clowns with squirt guns and green goo, or break out a bow and fiery arrows to shoot targets up in flames.
Mole Boxing and Whack-A-Mole features zany, smiley moles. You can’t wait to knock’em silly.

VR Funhouse takes advantage of advanced NVIDIA VRWorks graphics features to improve performance and maximize image quality:

VR SLI enables two GPUs to work in parallel to render graphics, with one GPU rendering the right eye and one GPU rendering the left eye. Combined with a 3rd GPU for PhysX, VR Funhouse brings both amazing graphics and physics fun.
VRWorks Multi-res Shading speeds up performance in VR Funhouse by intelligently rendering full detail only where your eyes can see it.

NVIDIA GameWorks adds immersive and interactive effects never before seen in VR:

PhysX Destruction generates pervasive destruction that lets you see your impact on the environment.
NVIDIA FleX Fluids demonstrate realistic liquid when players blast a clown with goo. Flow enables realistic, volumetric fire simulation when you light your arrow on fire and shoot it from your bow.
NVIDIA Flow enables realistic, volumetric fire simulation when you light your arrow on fire and shoot it from your bow.
NVIDIA HairWorks simulates and renders realistic hair and fur.
