Checkers
Checkers VR:
Multiverse Journey
Draughts / Checkers in VR with an imaginative twist: play in a Wild West saloon or a pixel-art anime arena, with fight animations between pieces, 8x8 and 10x10 board variants, and multiple AI difficulty levels.
Checkers VR: Multiverse Journey is an indie VR implementation of draughts/checkers developed by SUPLIFE, available on Meta Quest, SteamVR, and as a free sideload via SideQuest. The game's distinguishing feature is its themed environments: rather than a generic board, you play checkers in a Wild West tavern with cowboy avatars, or in a pixelated anime-styled arena where pieces are animated characters that fight each other when captured.
The game covers both the standard international 8x8 board and the 10x10 board used in international draughts, which is a meaningful inclusion for teachers wanting to introduce the more complex international variant. AI difficulty levels range from beginner to master. There is a detailed guide available in-game for new players.
