🚀 Europa Prime VR Is About to Launch: Explore the VR Puzzle Game that is out of this world!

Updated: Aug 1

After 2 years of research, development, testing, and dreaming big, we're excited to announce the launch of Europa Prime VR  - an immersive sci-fi puzzle experience set in a station orbiting one of the most intriguing moons in our solar system: Europa.

But this isn't just another VR game. It’s a living world shaped by science, curiosity, and creativity; a place where gameplay, learning, and discovery blend seamlessly in a zero-gravity sandbox of possibilities.

🌌 What Makes EPVR Special?

  • A Universe of Secrets, EPVR is packed with puzzles, science factoids, STEM content, Easter eggs, hidden lore, and unexpected twists. From mysterious maintenance bots to interactive alien life, to hidden treasures, you’ll find plenty to explore beyond the main mission.

  • Play Your Way, With deeply customizable settings and an adaptable UX, players can tune their experience to suit their preferences, access needs, or play style. Whether you want a relaxed exploration mode or full-on puzzle challenge.

  • Grounded in Real Science, From low gravity physics, to Europa’s subsurface ocean, every aspect of the world is inspired by real astrophysics, planetary geology, and current scientific theories - all woven into the gameplay.

  • Enhanced Game Mechanics, Developed with gamification in mind, our unique zero-G locomotion system, gravity grab, and multi-layer puzzle design create an experience that feels both intuitive and deeply satisfying.

Europa, EuropaVR, Mission Europa, Europa Prime, and uniVRsal are project names for the STEM-based educational game developed by MXTreality for and with EdGE at TERC, terc.edu/edge, as part of an NSF-funded project (#2005447) researching and developing a STEM-based VR game for a broad audience, including neurodivergent players. This work is part of a collaboration between MXTreality & TERC to broaden participation in informal STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) learning for all, yet with a special focus on neuro-diverse and autistic learners through the magic offered via virtual reality. The game is expected to launch in alpha in late 2023.
