What it teaches
Each puzzle is about how light and objects create shadows. To solve it you have to think about angles, distance and shape, which builds spatial reasoning in a gentle, hands on way. Because there are no buttons, it is also an easy first VR game for younger players or anyone new to a headset.
Things to know
- Hand tracking works best in a well lit room with your hands kept in view of the headset.
- It is a short, calm game rather than a long challenge, so it suits quick sessions.
- Single player only.
