ProjectGhost

GhostBustXR is an asymmetrical multiplayer social XR game that creates friendly competition between one human and 3 ghosts. The trick is they are all controlled in real time by people either on their phones or on their headset. It’s fun spooky!

• VR/ MR players are player avatars
• AR players are ghost avatars
• Spectator avatars

Acknowledgments

• Inspiration

1. Mario Party / Mario Kart

• Mario Party & Mario Kart encourage healthy competition among friends. The games are known for bringing people together and allowing people to get to know each other in a completely non-realistic and non-threatening environment.

2. Beat Saber

• This game was more of a negative influence on our game. It is because of games like Beat Saber, where inherently one person is immersed playing a game while others look on an spectate for hours, we wanted to create a game exactly the opposite of that- a game where everyone is immersed and able to play a game together.

3. Pac Man

• We borrowed the concept of the many ghosts vs one other player dynamic from this game.

4. Ghostbusters

• This title was a large part of our game’s namesake.

5. Jackbox.tv Drawful 2

• Jackbox.tv Drawful 2 multi-user party app demo

6. Acron: Attack of the Squirrels!

• Available for Oculus Quest, Rift, HTC Vive & Mobile
