This Halloween, the Bugis Junction and Bugis+ malls in Singapore are daring shoppers to face their fears with a larger-than-life virtual reality (VR) gaming experience. This is the first time that malls in Singapore are hosting a VR experience of this scale.
For the Time Zombies competition shoppers are invited to step into the shoes of detectives travelling through time hot on the heels of Dr Virago, a time-travelling mad scientist, and stop him in his bid to spark off a zombie apocalypse. This competition uses the latest Arctic Fox wireless technology, in which players don a wireless headset that features a high definition screen and gaming headphones for an immersive surround sound experience, without the burden of cables or backpack computers.
Prizes for the top 10 players include:
Two other non-competitive VR games are also available. Till 15 October, shoppers can challenge their fear of heights with a plank walk set 50 storeys above ground while dodging creepy crawlies flying at them with a game of Walk the Plank. The Arizona Sunshine zombie game, available from 13 to 29 October, will challenge players to scour the Arizona desert for fellow survivors of the zombie apocalypse.
