Human Controller is a new party game by Tomy that blends the thrill of blindfolded challenges with the hilarity and entertainment of watching someone wearing a VR helmet attempt to navigate a virtual world—but in a format that’s accessible to everyone. This game includes a Bluetooth-connected headset and requires a smart device, and one player takes on the role of the controller to guide their teammate through mini games.
Tomy is set to showcase Human Controller at the upcoming UK Games Expo, where attendees will have the chance to control a volunteer human or take on that role themselves. "Even a task as simple as directing someone to sit on a chair promises to offer hilarious and social-capture opportunities," says Mary Wood, managing director, Tomy Europe.
