The Game’s Afoot . . . Headsets at the ready. Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Hung Parliament Announced for Meta Quest 2

 In a unique collaboration between immersive theatre pioneers Les Enfants Terribles and VR trailblazers vrisch, the world’s most famous detective makes his VR debut in Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Hung Parliament, a live-motion VR deductive adventure for one to four players coming soon for Meta Quest 2 via the Meta Store

Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Hung Parliament is a single or multiplayer deductive adventure and the first VR game to feature interactive live-action FMV with professional theatre actors. On your journey, you can interrogate characters and visit locations to scour for clues to unravel the mystery. Play alone or with up to three other players to visit crime scenes all over London, then meet in the ‘Mind Fortress’ to construct a case against your prime suspect. The game challenges you to solve a typically absorbing Holmesian whodunit written by prolific theatre writer Anthony Spargo and Les Enfants Terribles’ Artistic Director Oliver Lansley, whose collective work spans books, tv, theatre and Amazon productions.

Will you solve the baffling case in time? Can you call on your friends for help? And where is Sherlock anyway? The answers are far from elementary.

The current ‘in development’ version of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Hung Parliament is currently available to purchase via AppLab and SideQuest. This version is complete and is being used for testing and community feedback for the developers to take onboard ahead of the full launch.

About Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Hung Parliament

The Home Secretary, The Foreign Secretary, and the Lord Chancellor have all been found hanging in their own chambers. Each victim died on their birthday. On that day, they all received a card with a mysterious quote written on it, and now the Prime Minister himself has received one; but what does this mean? Where’s Sherlock? And will you be able to solve the case before the clock strikes midnight and the murderer strikes again?

Combining the worlds of immersive theatre and cutting-edge VR video technology, Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Hung Parliament is a unique Meta experience that can be enjoyed over and over again.
