It’s Christmas time! Here are a few festive VR experiences for you to enjoy this season.
- Santa’s Christmas Chimney, Samsung Gear
While falling down a chimney as Santa, the objective is to fall for as long as possible while collecting Christmas presents and dodging obstacles. The concept can be compared to Subway Surfer. It has the finishing touches of a Christmas themed game; Santa’s jolly voice and festive music!

- Merry Snowballs, HTC Vive
In the mood for a snowball fight? The fact that we are in the UAE does not stop us! In this VR game you can throw and dodge snowballs with neighbours. Shielded by only a fence and snowman, you can also catch the snowballs and use a snow gun! Each level adds another challenge as well as different perks. Experience the activities of a “White Christmas” from here in the desert.
