About this game

Designed for explorers at heart, Atlas Obscura VR offers a treasure trove of inspiration, uncovering the unconventional and celebrating the world’s hidden wonders. The app includes breathtaking visuals and detailed accounts of 50+ destinations from the beloved Atlas Obscura book, plus three fully interactive episodes that bring these locations to life with over 45 minutes of adventure.

1. Winchester Mystery House (USA): Step into the enigmatic, sprawling mansion of Sarah Winchester in San Jose, California. A place of wonder and intrigue, this spooky mega-mansion was once the home of the widow of firearms magnate William Wirt Winchester.
