Pigvasion, a free roaming group gaming experience based on characters and environments from the Angry Birds movies, is launching at IAAPA Expo Europe in Vienna, Austria, this week.
It has been created by Attraktion! for its Playneo game system, in partnership with Angry Birds’ creator Rovio Entertainment Corporation.
In the gaming experience, players will embark on a mission to help Red (leader of the Angry Birds’ flock) recover stolen eggs from mischievous pigs.
The company says Pigvasion offers “an immersive, fast-paced gameplay that defies the typical mobile gaming experience scaled up for entertainment venues.”
Playneo is a free roam group gaming concept that uses immersive 270° projection environments, rather than VR headsets, to create spaces that enable group interaction for 4-16 players through three configuration options – Box, Trapeze and 360 Layout, making them ideal for FECs, lobby experiences and shopping malls.
Unlike VR games, Playneo does not require any special glasses, so guests can move freely around the space, with interactivity features on every surface.
