🎉 Big news: you can now try Monkey Tower VR FREE for 30 minutes! 🐒✨ If it’s your first climb, we recommend starting on Beginner Mode—it gives you unlimited cards and respawns so you can explore the tower stress-free during your trial run. 🙌
Then when you are ready to commit, go full MONKEY MODE to get the real challenge! The game is available now on Meta Quest 3 & 3S, and we’re working hard to bring it to more platforms soon. 🚀 Tag a friend below who has a Quest 3 or 3s! ... You guys can also play in multiplayer to rave to the top of the tower 💪

Funny how these doodles were some of our earliest Monkey Tower concepts—and wow, we’ve come a long way since then! ➡️ It’s amazing to see them grow into a full VR game. Looking back reminds us how ideas flourish when you pair them with the right people, resources, and persistence. 🌱

We couldn’t have done it without our talented team and support of our families and friends. 🙌 THANK YOU!

And we know we’re not the only ones chasing ideas—what’s something you’ve been sketching, planning, or dreaming up lately? Drop it below, we’d love to cheer you on. 💭

Sometimes the best stories come out while hanging with friends—kids testing out Monkey Tower VR in the living room while dinner’s on the stove. 🍳 In this clip, Parker shares a little of his journey. For years, Howell XR has been hired to build all kinds of XR experiences—VR experiences, immersive training tools, large scale visuals and more. He’s been in the XR industry for over a decade, helping imagine what’s possible with new technology for his clients... In the last two years, he's decided to launch his own project and realized the VR game realm would be a the perfect fit. There’s already a hungry market, established platforms like Meta Quest, and room to create something fun, challenging, and meaningful. That spark turned into Monkey Tower VR—our first self-funded game, launching September 18th. 🚀

It’s Friday, and we’re leveling up like crazy! 🎉 Our play-tester just scored:
❤️ Heart – extra life when the tower gets tough
🎴 Card – giving him another block to build with
🍌 Banana – quick energy boos for speed
🧲 Magnet – lets you pull items to you from a distance

Naturally, that calls for a happy dance 💃

🎬 The official trailer for Monkey Tower VR is here! 🌴 Mark your calendars and prepare for an epic experience launching on September 18th! We've recently had a range of people (of all ages) playtest the game and the feedback has been so promising! Part arcade throwback, part puzzle challenge, and part story-driven adventure—we've been finding the balance. Over the next two weeks, the team will polish off some final touches and we’re excited to say the game is almost here! 🙌
