About this game

Set off as a National Geographic explorer to discover two of the most iconic locations on the planet! Head to Antarctica and set off on a thrilling expedition of discovery. Navigate around icebergs in a kayak, climb a massive ice shelf and survive a raging snowstorm as you search for a lost emperor penguin colony.

Visit Machu Picchu, Peru and get immersed in amazing digital reconstructions of the ancient Inca citadel. Witness mummy worship, raise a cup of sacred chicha and encounter alpacas as you match Hiram Bingham’s photographs from when he rediscovered the Inca citadel.

With a mission to capture photographs for the National Geographic magazine, this interactive experience lets the entire family discover the world without ever leaving home.

Fun and informative

One of the better things you can do in vr is explore places. This experience doesn't just throw you in, there are guide describing the scene and photos to be taken. The sites feel lively and not like a static place. I would recommend.

Awesome

I would definitely pay for more locations. I never experienced any glitches when I played it.

Critical review

Stuck at the beginning

I'm trying to use the national geographic explore vr app on my meta quest 2. It loads up fine, but when it asks me to pick up the camera, it doesn't do anything after that. I cant explore any further in the app, as I'm stuck with it telling me to pick up the camera
